The Sycamore Prayer course aids Catholics to share their ideas, explore their beliefs, and think about questions that really matter.
Pope Francis has asked that 2024 be a ‘Year of Prayer’, as a preparatory year for the Jubilee Year of 2025. This short Sycamore course about prayer, with five sessions, can be run in your parish or community, in person or with a remote group.
Sycamore is an informal course about the Christian faith and its relevance for life today. It gives you space to meet other people, share ideas, explore your beliefs, and think about questions that really matter.
Below are five sessions about Christian prayer and the adventure of the spiritual life. For those who are just beginning, and also for those who have been praying a long time! These sessions can help your parish or community enter into the Year of Prayer in 2024, as a preparation for the Jubilee Year of 2025.
