How do you plan to pray for the cardinal electors? Below are prayer requests from cardinals and other faithful calling on Catholics to pray for the conclave.

Let us pray and fast for the conclave!

The conclave to elect a new Pope for the Catholic Church begins on May 7 at the Sistine Chapel in Rome.

Each cardinal participating as an elector in the conclave will conduct this process in complete secrecy. They will not communicate outside the Sistine Chapel’s walls once it begins.
