Diocese of Southwestern Virginia Prayer Calendar
January 7 - June 3, 2018
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.
