Kendall County proclaims May 7 as National Day of Prayer
Summary
Kendall County Commissioners unanimously approved a proclamation declaring May 7, 2026, the National Day of Prayer and heard organizers outline community events in Boerne, including a noon gazebo observance and an evening youth-led "Light Up the Square."
The Kendall County Commissioner's Court voted unanimously on May 5 to proclaim May 7, 2026, as the National Day of Prayer.
"I move to proclaim 05/07/2026 as National Day of Prayer, pursuant to proclamation P-20260505-1," the judge said when presenting the proclamation, and the motion carried 5 to 0. Volunteers who organize local observances described plans for the day. "We're gonna have a noon hour gazebo event, and then at night we're gonna have a youth-led event called the Light Up the Square," said Raul Carlos, a volunteer who spoke to the court. Organizers also described a morning "makers per" breakfast at Lascotara's and multiple speakers from local ministries.
The proclamation text the court reviewed cites the Continental Congress and a 1952 joint resolution of Congress and subsequent public law; it sets a theme drawn from Romans 15:13 and encourages local observance. Commissioners invited organizers to publicize event times and noted they would take photographs with organizers to commemorate the proclamation.
The court did not attach funding to the proclamation; the vote was procedural and ceremonial. The event is scheduled for Thursday, May 7, 2026, in locations in Boerne described by organizers.
