Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

7:00pm
Tuesday, 4 June
Sacred Heart Catholic Church
2 Richard Porter Way Pymble

At least once a year, Christians are reminded of the prayer by Jesus for his disciples that “they may be one so that the world may believe” (John 17.21). Hearts are touched and Christians come together to pray for their unity. Congregations and parishes all over the world welcome visitors and arrange special ecumenical celebrations and prayer services. The event that touches off this special experience is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.

Traditionally, the week of prayer is celebrated between 18-25 January, between the feasts of St Peter and St Paul. In the southern hemisphere, where January is a holiday period, we often find other days to celebrate it, for example around Pentecost, which is also a symbolic date for unity.

The theme for the week of prayer in 2019, "Justice, and only justice, you shall pursue", is inspired by Deuteronomy 16:18-20. Resources for the week have been prepared by members of different churches in Indonesia.

All are welcome to be part of this special parish event within the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
