Lenten Prayer Guiding Programme: This Lent we will be running a period of guided prayer for young adults. This is an opportunity for young adults to deepen their relationship with Christ with support from a prayer guide. After an initial gathering, where they will meet their guide and learn more about the accompanying relationship, they will meet the guide once a week for the five full weeks of Lent. The guide will help the young people explore prayer and journey with them as they learn more about themselves and their relationship with God. It is hoped these individual meetings will be run across the diocese. There are a limited number of places available, so contact Sr Emma Nolan at Vaughan House for more information or to book a place. emmanolan@rcdow.org.uk (Cost £10-£30).
