Together In Prayer: For Our Ministries and People of God
In a world filled with voices not our
own
we can be pulled apart and forget
that which
must never be forgotten:
Then, because so many people
were coming and
going that they did
not even have a chance
to eat, Jesus
said to them, ‘Come with Me by
yourselves to a quiet place and get
some rest.’ (Mk 6:31)
Soon you will have the
opportunity to join us for
an evening
of Prayer, Chant and Quiet Meditation
as we find our rest here in the Church
and in adoring
Christ,
find ourselves.
On Friday, September 24th
from 6:30-8:30pm

| The Catholic Journey |

Join Us For RCIA

Each year men and women embark on an exploration of the
Catholic faith. Some are deciding if they are called into the
Catholic Church; others have been Catholic all their lives and
are now interested in discovering what this really means.
Together we witness to the fact that our search for God is a
lifelong journey, a journey on which we make the most progress
when we walk it with others and with intention.
When: Monday Evenings, 7:30-9:00pm
Beginning: August 30, 2010
Continues: Through Easter & Pentecost
What: Exploring The Catholic Faith
Who: Non-Catholics & Catholics Together

Many souls find comfort at the Grotto of
Our Lady by the lake at STM.
The traditional practice of lighting a candle,
offering a prayer and appealing through the Company
of Saints for divine assistance in the hour of deepest
need is
a profoundly Catholic confidence that God is
moved to mercy by the simplest human act.
Located next to the Grotto, MY BLESSING LIGHT
dispenses candles of various colors, qualities
and duration for modest fees. |
