Hello Father,
I know that the following information is not current. However, it may still be of interest to you.
I am a retired Anglican Priest living back home in Ireland. But when I was serving in the Church of England, in my last parish there. St.Catherine`s, East Tilbury, Essex, on the last evening of the month the only Mass offered - apart from the 7.30 a.m. - was an evening one at 6.30 p.m. This Eucharist was purely a Healing Service. The intention was `healing `and nothing else. When the people came forward to receive Communion the first thing that happened was the laying-on of hands with prayer for healing - two people were always involved working together - and this was completed with the reception of the Sacrament. It was a wonderful time and the attendance from church members was virtually 100%, plus others who came from other places. Some great healing happened, both community-wise, physical, emotional and in one rather dramatic instance- although that was never the intention - one of the unquiet dead found eternal peace. When I initiated this service it was with the full support of the Church Council ; other churches in the area did have healing services, but thry were generally mid-week and never the major event on a Sunday.
With every Blessing
Yours in Christ
Fr.Peter

  A healing service is offered mid week in the evening.  Healing prayer is also offered at a side chapel during communiion.

     Hello,
     I would be interested in hearing when healing prayers, the sacrament of healing, prayer requests with prayer, etc. are offered in your churches or churches you know of you who offer this.

    I'm particularly interested in hearing about places where healing prayer is offered on Sunday mornings or in the context of another service during the week.

    In Christ,
     Father Kevin Goodrich O.P.
