Day of Prayer: Resources.

First held in 2017, the Day of Prayer for Survivors and Victims of Abuse is a prayer initiative of the
IEC to be held across Ireland to pray for the recovery of all who have been impacted by abuse in
our Church. All parishes and religious communities are encouraged to light a candle of
atonement and to organise a service or moment of prayer on the first Friday of Lent. In 2026, this
day will fall on Friday 20th of February.

Resources for liturgies have been prepared with the support of Towards Peace and are available here:

Mass and Resource Pack including additional prayers, reflection, readings, Gospel text, hymns.
