An online Lenten prayer campaign by the Archdiocese of Southwark is proving a roaring success and was seen by over 1.5 million social media users in its first week.

Launched on Ash Wednesday, the Archdiocese of Southwark is releasing a prayer video across social media platforms each day during Lent, promoting well known prayers within the Catholic Church. The campaign's aim is simple, states the Archdiocese's website, which is to help people connect with Christ through prayer by providing content which enables them to do that in their everyday life.
