Prayers and Blessings for the Church Year

Building Faith has featured a number of articles with prayers and blessings for the seasons and holy days of the liturgical year. Each can be found by browsing our Prayer page or the page for a particular season.

When it comes to planning for an entire church year, however, a simplified way of accessing resources that span the seasons can help. That is why we have assembled the following compilation of articles that offer prayers and blessings to use throughout the year. We hope this collection enriches your community’s journey through the church year with God and one another.
