School of Prayer

The School of Prayer is a response of the Archdiocese of Melbourne to people’s intense wish to learn to pray. It seeks to promote meditative prayer in parishes, in schools, in homes and in human hearts. It responds to Pope John Paul’s call to communities to

"become genuine ‘schools’ of prayer, where meeting with Christ is expressed not just in imploring help but also in thanksgiving, praise, adoration, contemplation, listening and ardent devotion, until the heart truly ‘falls in love."
