A Men’s Spirituality Group  and a Healing Prayer Ministry are new parish ministries.  The Men’s Spirituality Group will meet the last Wednesday of each month for an hour of prayer, meditation and reflection at 7:00 a.m. in the downstairs meeting room off of 10th Street. The rich diversity of our parish is seen as the strength of this group, and you are encouraged to participate. This is an intentional group and a commitment for all of the sessions is requested. For questions or details, talk with Stephen Hagerty, Ned Fitch, Ethan Mandel or Jeff Geffine.

Laying on of Hands, A Healing Prayer Ministry will begin training with Mother Shelley on February 23rd at 7 p.m. in the Ground Floor meeting room. If you are interested in learning more and discerning a call to this Lay Side Altar ministry, please contact Mother Shelley. Training meetings will occur on the 4th Thursday each month.
