Our parish life is full of opportunities for prayer. We share worship together in the Mass and gather together to pray and study in a wide range of ways around our four churches.

On our Parish groups pages you will find links for Prayer groups, Study groups, and Societies and Organisations. There are groups who work supporting church activities such as Church Volunteers and Music, and groups who share their faith with Youth, or the wider community. We hope that everyone is able to join us in the richness of our Parish activities.

However, some of our most beautiful and spiritual moments are experienced when we make a quiet time to be alone with God. Jesus often sought a secluded place to pray, to be alone with God, to listen to his voice. As we rush around our noisy lives it is important that we too make time to be still and listen with our heart.

Through these web pages St. Edward’s parish hope to share some of the prayers, meditations and inspirations that we enjoy in our life as Christians.

Please follow these links to pages that are of interest to you and contact the Webmaster if you have suggestions for (copyright free) prayers, bible passages or external links that could be added.
