Guidelines for the Prayer of the Faithful
The new diocesan guidelines for preparing the Prayer of the Faithful are available for download in pdf format - click here to access the Guidelines for the Prayer of the Faithful
"In the Prayer of the Faithful, we pray for the needs of the Church, the world, those in need, and for important local issues. As such, it is the prayer of the whole People of God asking for those things which we know only God can give. When well prepared and well read the Prayer of the Faithful moves the mind and heart to communion with the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit."
