Center for Ignatian Spirituality: Prayer Practicum Sessions FALL 2018

The Center for Ignatian Spirituality will be again offering its Prayer Practicum on two Tuesdays and two Saturdays each month this year. 
The Prayer Practicum is meant to offer actual experiences of various forms of prayer for a half hour. Then the second half hour is an opportunity to respond to questions about spirituality and one’s prayer life. We are happy this year to have Matt Yim and Michael Cheney joining our team in  leading these prayer sessions. All Prayer Practicum Sessions are free. Take home a copy of the bulletin, see the posters on the bulletin boards, or check out our parish website for more information. If you would have any questions, feel free to talk to Fr. Dave.
