Thy Kingdom Come (29 May - 8 June 2025) is a global prayer movement which encourages us to pray from Ascension Day to Pentecost for the Holy Spirit to draw people into faith. We invite you to join us online for diocese-wide prayer meetings from 12.00 noon to 12.15 pm on each of the eleven days of Thy Kingdom Come, over the course of which we will pray specifically for God to move in each of our parishes, schools and chaplaincies. The Zoom link is the same for each day. Below are the dates and the prayer topics. We hope you can join.
