Tuesday Centering Prayer
Come together to pray. Centering Prayer is a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. It is an exercise of faith, hope, and love and a movement beyond conversation with Christ to communion. Centering Prayer habituates us to the language of God which is silence. This prayer group meets every Tuesday mornings from 7:00 - 7:30am. Join us whenever you can - see bulletin for location.
All are Welcome.
Tuesday through Thursday Individual Prayer
The Parish Center sanctuary is open for quiet, peaceful prayer 9:30a to 2:00p.
Wednesday Eucharistic Adoration
Adoration is held from 9:30a to 2:00p every Wednesday at the Parish Center. All are invited to come when you can and pray before the Blessed Sacrament to adore the One present to us in the Eucharist. The graces dispensed by God help us grow in holiness by our presence during the time of adoration.
What is Adoration?
Maybe adoration is something you have been wondering about. This might be the right time for you to come and experience time dedicated to prayer and presence with Jesus. It could be an hour, a half hour, a few minutes. It is a time of restoration and peace for you. A sign-up sheet is in the chapel for you to commit to hours and to ensure someone is in prayer at all times. You are very welcome to come and be and pray. Hear how others experience adoration.
"The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in the Sacrament of Love, Let us not refuse the time to go to meet Him in Adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our Adoration never cease." ~ Pope John Paul IIFirst Friday Liturgy
