Prayer in the style of Taizé

The Diocese of York is leading a pilgrimage to Taizé 19th-27th July 2025 for young adults, aged 18-35, as part of wider diocesan work on pilgrimage. We will be joining with groups from the Dioceses of Leeds, Norwich, Bath and Wells, and Europe, and it is hoped that Archbishop Stephen may join us for some of the week.

Taizé is an inspirational place of pilgrimage. Its vocation to offer its life particularly to people under 30 gathers people from across the world every week of the year. Simplicity and joy of heart define Taizé, and it has been a place where many have found or deepened their faith, their life of prayer, emersed in a daily rhythm with God which many then take home with them.

This prayer in the style of Taizé service offers an opportunity for those who have not experienced Taizé before to experience something of its worship, and help young adults in particular to meet others who are interested in joining the pilgrimage in July. The service takes place at 7.30pm at St Luke’s Church, York, and is hosted by the Diocese of York alongside the Chaplaincy Team of York St John University. All are welcome.
