We meet once a week to pray for the local community, individuals with their permission, regional, national and international concerns. The group is lead by a lay person using a simple structure. The prayers commence at noon with the Memorial of the Incarnation (the Angelus) and lasts 20 minutes. Prayer requests can be left in the basket on the table at the back of church.

A global prayer vigil from the evening of Wednesday 3 June to Thursday 11 June 2026
The 40 Hours+ Devotion is an invitation to commit to one hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament—wherever you are. This may take place during a public service or scheduled Holy Hour; alone in church, whether the Sacrament is exposed or reserved; or at home, while praying with a livestream of the exposed Sacrament. Whether in person or online, formal or informal, each hour contributes to a continuous offering of prayer during the Octave of Corpus Christi. St Aidan’s church will be open, the Blessed Sacrament exposed and incense offered for two hours. Feel free to drop in for quiet prayer.

Participants may take part individually or as a group. And more than one person or group may sign up for the same hour.
