The CELEBRATE@Home Prayer Stations are designed for families, parishes and groups to create an interactive prayer journey. Originally created as a response to the 10th World Meeting of Families (WMOF) which took place in June 2022, they can be used at any time of the year. CELEBRATE wishes to make these Prayer Stations available to every parish and diocese to support ongoing family faith formation.

 

“The CELEBRATE Trust Prayer Stations are an excellent resource which may be used in a variety of different settings, assisting parish families across the generations. Those who have created this highly recommended resource are to be congratulated. This work has emerged from faith-filled families who are committed to living the Gospel and to sharing the Good News with other families. I highly recommend this CELEBRATE Trust parish resource which is accessible and aims to help evangelise and catechise in a simple, inclusive and family friendly way.”

Bishop David J Oakley - Chair of the CBCEW Committee for Marriage and Family Life

 

They have been developed primarily for children, to be accompanied by a mix of parents/carers, grandparents, catechists and parishioners, to travel together in small groups. We do recommend adults accompany the children to get the most from the prayer times and to read the Stations to the children in their group. 

The content is based on Scripture and Church teaching on the family, echoing some of the themes from the 10th World Meeting of Families 2022 documents. They have been developed to be as engaging and inclusive as possible, and provide discovery and formation elements to evangelise, catechise and help build the family and the local church community.

CELEBRATE Trust has created 12 Prayer Stations, however parishes and groups are free to decide how many they would like to set up given the space and time available. There are also Catechist Notes to help with preparation, and Links to the WMOF documents with Equipment for each Prayer Station. You can download and print the Prayer Stations or use the QR code inside to access via a mobile or computer.

These CELEBRATE@home resources have been produced to serve the Church. They are free to download but are not free to produce so we would be very grateful if you would consider making a donation  – thank you so much. Click here to Donate.
