Healing and Wholeness

Sundays at the Cathedral – Prayer for Healing and Wholeness

 

Each Sunday a member of the cathedral’s ministry team will be at the Lady Chapel altar at the Cathedral’s main 10 o’clock Choral Eucharist. They are available to you for prayer or anointing for healing and wholeness, either for yourself or for anyone for whom you are praying. If you would like personal prayer in this way, this will take place as everyone comes forward to receive Holy Communion in the service: just make your way to the Lady Chapel (to the right of the nave altar) after you have received Communion (or a blessing).
