Through the grace of the sacraments we come to know God’s presence. Centering Prayer facilitates consent to God’s presence and action within us. This form of silent prayer brings the rich Christian tradition of contemplation into a modern setting.

The same introductory session will be repeated Sunday, February 11 at 6:30 p.m. in the conference room, following 5:30 Sunday, February 11 evening Mass.
