Lent

Everyone makes a personal and unique journey during these ‘40 days and 40 nights’. We start with our call to pray, fast and give alms. How might you join in this and how could St Patrick’s be part of that journey?

If you’re looking to establish (or reestablish) a rhythm of prayer, Lent is the perfect time to do it! Throughout this season, you can join with us in prayer in so many ways.

Online prayer prompts

On the go, at your desk, or just need more inspiration for prayer? Throughout Lent we’ll release bitesize and encouraging weekly prayer prompts on social media to help bring God into your day just a little bit more.

Follow us so you don’t miss out!
