PRAYER GROUPS

Contemplative Prayer & Lectio Divina (Divine Reading)

An opportunity to cultivate one's prayer life is offered in our parish. If you wish to spend a quiet time to relax and bring yourself into the presence of God, through a prayerful reading of the Sunday gospel, come and join us. The purpose is to deepen in ourselves the Word of God, so that Christ's message will be translated into the realities of our daily life. All parishioners are welcome on the first Tuesday of the month, at 6:00-7:00PM in St. Francis Hall. Please bring your Bible or Sunday missal. Kindly contact Sr. Cristina for details.

EUCHARISTIC MINISTRY TO OUR HOMEBOUND BROTHERS & SISTERS

Marianites

MARIANITES LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS

The MARIANITES of Annunciation are giving our parishioners, both men & women, an opportunity to “come and see” and experience. Join them in ministering to the sick and elderly homebound and nursing home residents by visiting and bringing them Holy Communion on Monday mornings. The MARIANITES gather in Saint Francis Hall, usually after the 8:30 AM Mass, for prayers and a meeting and then proceed to their ministry. Come, see for yourself, and then decide if this is the Ministry to which the Lord is calling you.

Companions on the Journey

Provide spiritual companionship to suffering parishioners and their families. Ministers of care, they visit the sick, the aged, and the dying. They provide support and comfort through presence, prayer and Eucharist.

Sunday Eucharistic Ministers to the Homebound
