PRAYER LIFE OF THE PARISH

Srs Maree & Helen are leading a workshop at Pray 2010 on “The Prayer Life of the Parish”
and we would very much like to draw on the wisdom and experience of our parishioners.

We all view the life of the parish from different perspectives.

If you would like to assist us anonymously, we invite you to answer a few questions .

Follow the prompts below to send your thoughts to the office.

Alternatively, download a question sheet here and return it to the parish office.

We look forward to many responses and being able to work with you so we can share the
wealth of our parish with others.

From your experience, what is the “prayer life of our parish”?
What do you understand to be the “core prayer” of the parish?
What opportunities are there in the parish for different experiences of prayer?
How do we experience the “fruits” of the ‘prayer life of our parish’?
What experiences have you had in the parish to deepen your prayer?
How important do you think prayer is in our parish? Why?
What do you think about the idea of an annual Parish retreat? Would you attend?
What do you think about the idea of communal prayer at particular times of the year? Would you come?
What else would you like to see in relation to the “prayer life of our parish”?
