These prayers are exactly what their name suggests – prayers of the gathered faithful. In praying this prayer, the faithful are carrying out their role of praying for the entire world as well as for the needs of the local community. No two congregations will have exactly the same prayers, since their perception of the world's needs and of the local community will vary. Therefore they are written anew for each Sunday and weekly celebrations.

Starting Friday and ending on Sunday, the first of the special Jubilee Year celebrations for groups of people takes place in Rome. The Jubilee of the World of Communications.

Parishes and communities outside of the Archdiocese of Adelaide would do well to change the name and insert your own Diocese etc so that local people are included. 

Greetings to all who prepare parish newsletters. Such an important part of Catholic Communications.

Regards, Fr Maurice Shinnick

Dear all,

The attachment begins with the Proclamation of the Date of Easter and other Moveable Feasts for the Year 2025 which is proclaimed immediately after the Gospel and before the Homily.

Please pass it onto the priests and deacons of your parish for use at Masses of the Epiphany.

A blessed New Year to all.
