Prayer for Parish Groups

Experience has shown that prayer is at the heart of all that parish groups do. Prayer for Parish Groups offers over 100 prayer services for groups to use in gatherings. In addition to prayers, each prayer service presents words of the Scriptures and a reflection. The book's introductory chapters offer ideas for preparing and leading prayer services. The easily adapted prayer services cover a wide variety of themes, including liturgical seasons, feasts, and the seasons of nature. Indexes of themes and scriptural passages make finding the right prayer service a simple task.

Julie Kavanagh and Donal Harrington have abundant experience as members of the team of pastoral coordinators for parish development and renewal in the Dublin diocese, Ireland. Their particular responsibility has been the origination of resources such as this to assist parishes in the process of renewal.
