Taize Prayer with Adoration August 8, 2018 – 7:30pm The practice of contemplative prayer opens us to encounter and to be formed by this love that is poured out. Taizé worship is a contemplative communal prayer service that consists of meditative singing. Scripture reading, and periods of silence in order to reach a contemplative state. It is an international movement, inspired by an ecumenical interspiritual community in France. At St. Rapheala Center we integrate our charism of Eucharistic Adoration with this contemplative worship. Come join us for a monthly Taizé prayer, including Eucharistic Adoration that will extend in silence until midnight after the hour-long Taizé service. Dates: 2nd Wednesday of the month from 7:30-8:30pm. Place: Chapel
Sponsored Day of Pray August 14, 2018 – 8:30am to 5:00pm Come for a day of spiritual renewal and discover some peace and quiet in this whirlwind of a life. When: One Tuesday of each month (August to June) Time: Open and available between 8:30am and 5:00pm You can register via email (info@straphaelacenter.org) or phone (610-642-571
