Family Prayer for Holy Week

During these times when families cannot visit one another, and for some that means they are at home by themselves, one thing we can do is unite in prayer.

The family prayer is to encourage families in their homes to put 10-15 minutes aside to join in prayer, they could also join with extended family, agreeing a time to video call and say the prayer together.

For those who live alone perhaps you may consider a parish video call.
