The countdown begins! This St. Patrick's Festival, the churches in Downpatrick will host a space for prayer and reflection in a shop unit on Market Street for shoppers and festival-goers alike.

It will be open Monday-Wednesday of Festival week, 8am-6pm - just call in! (Overnight prayer by appointment) ... It's going to be stimulating, creative, meaningful, and you might just encounter God.

24-7prayer has happened in the Downpatrick area a couple of times recently - the Methodist Church was open during St. Patrick's Day 2009, and the church at Saul was open non-stop for a week in October 2009. Several of our churches are open for prayer every day of the year.
