• This week we welcome all JST community members to "JST Community Life, Prayer and Liturgy." This is a virtual space in Moodle that serves as a locus for encounter and connection within the JST community.  In the various tiles, you will find postings and announcements of community events, gatherings, and activities. "Holy Ground: Virtual Prayer Space" is an online space for prayer and contemplation.  Our first community prayer activity is the altarcito for the month of November.  We hope you will enjoy exploring this online hosting place for interaction, and invite you to return often to learn and to participate with others in the JST community.
