Current events
Wallis and Futuna is an overseas collectivity of France, where the French state, three customary kingdoms and the Catholic Church share a place in public life under a statute from 1961. In September Lafaele Tukumuli of Futuna was elected as the territory's senator in the French Senate, and the islands, home to about 11,000 people, face an ageing population.
We pray for: Immediate relief, safety and urgent help.
Spiritual landscape
The great majority of people in Wallis and Futuna are Catholic, a faith that has shaped the islands since French missionaries arrived in 1837. About 97% are Christian, and the Church has a recognised place in the life of the territory.
We pray for: Spiritual awakening, hope and the spread of truth.
Let us pray together
Our Father, we come to You together for Wallis and Futuna. Bless every family and village on Wallis and on Futuna, and care for the elderly and the young. Give the kings, the assembly and all in authority wisdom and integrity. Let the faith of the people be alive with Your love and hope. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
