Father George LaPierre from St. Gerard Majella Church at 211 Pentagon Boulevard advises SooToday.com that a special time of prayer will be held next Tuesday (December 6) for James Loney and three other hostages whose Iraqi captors are threatening to kill him next Thursday.
The service will begin with a mass at 7 p.m. which will be followed at 7:30 p.m. by a time of quiet prayer and reflection for about 45 minutes.
