Prayer Calendar


In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for the Church of the Province of West Africa.

In the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we pray for all academic graduates, educational institutions, and the specialized chaplaincies in those institutions: remembering especially ECMN’s School for Formation, Breck School, and Shattuck-Saint Mary’s and their chaplains; Circle of the Beloved, University Episcopal Community, and all those who work with campus ministries. We also pray for the parish of the Ascension (Stillwater).

Saint Paul’s Parish Prayer List can be found here.
