Lectio Divina

These six-week, one hour sessions will begin on Tuesday, September 28th at 10:30 am to 11:30 am and will be held in Xavier Hall. The Gospel for the following Sunday will be used for the meditation process. For more information, please contact Millie at 251-2540.


Centering Prayer

         This will be offered for six weeks by Bernie at 492-3032. There will be two sessions each week starting Thursday, September 30th, in Xavier Hall. One session from 10:30 pm to 11:30 am and another from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm.

Centering Prayer is defined as our human attempt to:

1. Leave behind external tumult

2. Surrender our will to God

3. Relate to God who speaks to us in our internal silence.


We look forward to your participation!
