What is "A Week Of Prayer For Christian Unity" all about?

Join us and many faithful from Christian denominations around the world for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, January 18 - 25, 2022. Our theme for this year is “We Saw the Star in the East, and We Came To Worship Him.”

Like the Magi who braved the perils of a long and dangerous journey to find the Christ child, our Christian brothers and sisters in the Middle East face many hardships as they strive to live out their faith in Christ. Our prayer in solidarity with their suffering is a light of hope and communion.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity began as an eight-day period of prayer called the Church Unity Octave at Graymoor and was established by founders of the Society of the Atonement, Mother Lurana White, SA, and Servant of God Father Paul of Graymoor.
