"Lord, teach us to pray..." Luke 11:1Whether you have been praying for decades, are just getting started, or want to go deeper, come to learn, practice, and pray with our community in different ways that the Church has been praying for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
Each month, we will focus on a different form of prayer, from Liturgy of the Hours to the Rosary, to imaginative prayer to the Mass itself.- Open to all, invite your friends!
- Children are welcome, too! We will have quiet activities related to the session available for them.
- Light refreshments will be provided.
- Please RSVP if you can before each session so we know how many to expect.

Whether our prayer is communal or personal, vocal or interior, it has access to the Father only if we pray "in the name" of Jesus. The sacred humanity of Jesus is therefore the way by which the Holy Spirit teaches us to pray to God our Father.
