Prayers from Home
2024-11-13 | Online
All are invited to a time of prayer each Wednesday when a printed order for daily prayer will be posted on the website early in the morning. It will contain all you need for a time of prayer in your home. This is an opportunity for each of us to set aside time in the middle of the week to enter into a time of prayer and reflection.
Each Wednesday, we hold in our prayers the ordinary moments in life—the trials and the joys.
