The Liturgical Advisory Committee (LAC) of the Church of Ireland has published several prayers for use in churches marking the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III on Saturday, 6th May.  The material includes two prayers for the King, one of which has been used at Coronations over the centuries (this prayer is available in traditional and contemporary language), a prayer for Queen Consort, and a short series of intercessions.

Speaking about the prayers, LAC Chaplain the Revd Adrian Dorrian, said: “Parishes will be marking the Coronation with community events, special programmes and during acts of worship.  We hope that these prayers may be useful for those planning services leading up to and following the Coronation.”

The prayers are available at the following links:
