Cycle of prayer
A church is more than a collection of individuals; it is fundamentally a community at parish, diocesan, national and international levels. One of the ways we express this is by supporting each other in prayer.
Through our Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we invite you to pray for every parish and clergyperson in these United Dioceses, every chaplaincy and all of the mission agencies, individuals and organisations the Church of Ireland works through in this place. We also invite you to pray for parishes and organisations in our partner diocese, the Diocese of Jerusalem.
The Diocesan Cycle of Prayer is published by the Diocesan Office in time for the Diocesan Synods in October, and edited by Canon Mark Gardner.
Through the Anglican cycle of prayer and the Porvoo cycle of prayer, we also invite you to pray for every diocese in the Church of Ireland and other churches in the Anglican and Porvoo Communions.
Finally, we invite you to pray for yourself and those that you love.
A new Cycle of Prayer begins each year on the First Sunday of Advent.
