Canada and the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, or in other words, prayer for ecumenism is celebrated January 18th through the 25th, and prepared each year in a different country under the direction of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity in Rome and the Geneva-based World Council of Churches’ Faith and Order Commission. The last time Canada was involved in the preparation was 106 years ago. This coming January, Canadians have written “the biblical reflections, prayer services and educational materials to be used worldwide.”


Read more about the details in an article written by Michael Swan in The Catholic Register that is titled: Canadian Prayers for Unity. The article can be found at the link below, I hope you enjoy reading it.
