spirituality"The prayer of faith consists not in saying 'Lord, Lord,'
but in disposing the heart to do the will of the Father."

Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2611

 

 

The department offers a range of events centred around the development of spirituality in the lives of individuals and groups.

A contemplative prayer group meets on the first Saturday of every month at the centre, 1-2.30pm. It begins with a shared lunch and includes at least 30 minutes of silent prayer.  If you are interested in this form of prayer, you are more than welcome. Phone the office if you would like more details of the day and also about the group.

Accompanied prayer – the diocese has a number of trained prayer companions who are available to accompany others on their faith journey. They are also available to run accompanied prayer events in parishes. In Sheffield this part of the work runs alongside Inspir, the ecumenical spirituality group.

  • Holy Father's Visit Has Given Us Fresh Courage
    "The four days of the Papal Visit brought the Catholic Church in England and Wales to a different and new place, emphasising and enhancing the opportunity we have to live and proclaim our faith in public," said Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham during his homily at a special Mass on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin (8 December).
  • Papal Visit DVD Released
    Celebrating Pope Benedict XVI’s historic first State Visit to the UK, the DVD tells the story of the four extraordinary days in September offering not just event highlights, but the Holy Father’s profound words and the true significance of all the components of the Visit.
  • A Call to Freedom
    The UK media has repeatedly stated that Pope Benedict’s visit to Spain has touched on familiar themes. Yet, as usual, it has been left to the Catholic press to identify the central point of his message: freedom. Whilst the secular reports quote the Pope as calling Europe to return to its Christian roots, they frequently omit the reason for such a challenge: freedom.
