- Diocese of Southwestern Virginia Prayer Calendar
August 8, 2021 through December 26, 2021
As part of our mutual life in Christ, Bishop Mark Bourlakas has directed that
all parishes include intercessions for the congregation he is visiting that day
and for their clergy in the Prayers of the People each Sunday. He asks that
parishes consider including the other prayers in this Calendar insofar as they
fit with each parish's liturgy. The intent is that you will use this Calendar to
keep the wider Church in your daily prayers.
- Regathering & Welcoming: Preparing for Hospitality Post-Pandemic
Clergy and lay leaders are invited to meet via Zoom on Thursday, June 10 at 2:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. to discuss the practical side of regathering and creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere in our churches post-pandemic. Registration is required to receive your unique Zoom link.
