Holywood is praying 24–7

Holywood Parish has the prayer scroll for the next 7 days until 14 February after receiving it from the parishioners of Knocknagoney.  Pictured below, Sandra Lavery hands over, not just the scroll, but the responsibility for maintaining the 24–7 prayer vigil in the diocese.

You can see Holywood’s creative prayer programme on their website here. 

Parishes are filling in the dates on which they have held the prayer scroll as well as an encouraging story or comment from their time praying. They are also encouraged to write a prayer of blessing for the next parish. Those prayers have clearly been answered as parish after parish reports the great blessing that 24–7 prayer has been to them.
