WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
Common Ground
That which we do not know, we often fear. Such is too often the case with religions that are different from our own, whether within Christianity or among our world’s varied faiths. Special observances like the upcoming Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 18-25) serve to break down such barriers of understanding and, rather than accentuate our differences, shine light on all that we have in common. We’ve seen it firsthand. Read about some of our meaningful interfaith experiences.
Join Us in Prayer
Our St. Francis Center for Renewal will have an active part in helping people everywhere observe the Week of Prayer for Christian United from January 18 to 25. The retreat team has partnered with friends in faith throughout Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley to host daily online prayer services beginning Monday, January 18.

Each day at 11:30 a.m., you can connect via Zoom for 25 minutes of music and prayer led by different prayer leaders each day, our Sisters among them. For the complete schedule and to register to join us, please click the button below.
