Come experience the beauty, stillness and joy of praying in the style of Taizé. This prayer style is characterized by repeated “song prayers”, candlelight, a reading or two, intercessory prayer and deep silence. This month we celebrate Advent and honor Mary, our mother, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Plan to come this Wednesday evening, December 8 at 7:00 PM. Enter through either side door. For more information call Charlene at the rectory.
All women are invited to a time of being with each other and supporting each other in reflection and prayer. We are gathering this Saturday, December 11, at 10:000 AM in the library at Centering Space, 14812 Lake Ave., Lakewood. Please join us and bring a friend!
