Keeping Vigil
Date: March 27, 2010
Director: Kathryn Cleary

It is said that "Our lives are a keeping vigil, working at love in common living." During our Lenten day of prayer, we will reflect upon Jesus' call to keep vigil with Him during the mystery of His passion and death, trusting that He keeps vigil with us throughout all the days of our lives.

Sound Teaching for the Spiritually Hungry:
Counsels from St. John of the Cross
Date: April 17, 2010
Director: Martha Campbell

If you are spiritually hungry, intently seeking a God who seems to escape you, or longing for freedom and wholeness, John of the Cross has something to say to you. A poet, spiritual director, writer and mystic, perhaps, John's greatest witness is to the transforming action of God when we simply become open to receive God's love. In an atmosphere of silence, this day of prayer will include input, time for reflection, communal prayer and faith-sharing.

Breathe on Me, Oh Breath of God
Date: May 29, 2010
Director: JoAnn Nally

The life giving energy of God's Spirit has the power to transform our lives. This day of prayer invites us to recognize how the gifts of the Holy Spirit sanctify our lives and enrich our relationship with God and others. There will be time for prayer, reflection and journaling.
