In the letter released today, the Archbishops asked us to hold Sunday 22nd of March as a day of prayer and action at this difficult time for our country. One action is that we hopefully light a candle and place it in our window at 7pm and stop for a moment to hold in our prayers those who are sick or anxious. If you don't wish to light a candle as an alternative you might wish to print off the poster and display it in you home.Click here for candle of hope poster
