Liturgy News
Lay-led Paraliturgical Rosary - October 13th, Thursday 5:15 p.m.Please join us on October 13th, when the community will gather for a prayerful recitation of the rosary during this month dedicated to the rosary. With the luminous mysteries furnishing focus, our prayer will include song and reflection on the mysteries. Nelly Pandagos and Ve Barkhordarian will be our co-presiders. We hope many reading this note will step forward and help to enrich the prayer through your participation.
Special note: If you have a Marian image, statuette, or another devotional article, please bring it to the liturgy. These will be displayed in their variety, so that we may celebrate Mary as a patroness of our community.
Upcoming Lay-led Liturgies -
As we prepare for this term's lay-led liturgies, we welcome additional support in the planning for the liturgies to be celebrated on November 3 (evening prayer), November 17 (liturgy of the Word), and December 1 (an Advent Reconciliation Service). We need musicians, lectors, and coordinators, who can assist with the planning, communication, and preparation of the chapel.
Spiritual Formation Offerings
Are you planning to contact a spiritual director? Perhaps you've been meaning to send an email, but haven't yet found the time. Stop Stephen Szolosi any time to ask for some support in your process. Or simply take that step and reach out to a director today asking to meet for an initial conversation in which you can explore the practice.
