Do you find it easy to pray? Do you hear God’s voice in your daily life and know how to respond? For most of us the answer is no, sometimes finding it hard to pray. Join us on October 10, 17, 31 and November 7 and 14 from 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. in Leo Hall. Come learn how to be more aware of his close presence and overcome distractions. As you grow closer to God, you will also grow in your relationship with those around you.

Grief is a natural reaction to loss, and mourning is our intentional response. Parishioners who have experienced the loss of a loved one are invited to participate in a weekly Support Group program based on the Grieving with Great Hope series. Facilitators are gentle, caring individuals who themselves have experienced the loss of a loved one. Participants need not attend all sessions. Registration is not required but requested for planning purposes. If interested, contact the parish office at 717.564.1321.
