Topic:
Catholics have practically cornered the market on memorized prayers when it comes to Christian spiritual practices.
Many of us can pray those prayers with true faith and receive grace as a result, but sometimes seeing the ‘same old thing’ in a different way can open us up to receive even more!
Come join us to find out how to do exactly that as we discuss 'pro tips’ for a new experience of Catholic prayer and worship. 



Mark your calendars for future dates:
Apr. Fri. 17, May Fri. 22, June Fri. 19

Prayer to
​Saint Francis Xavier

Great Saint Francis, well beloved and full of charity, in union with you I reverently adore the Divine Majesty.  I give thanks to God for the singular gifts of grace bestowed on you in life and of glory after death, and I beg of you, with all the affection of my heart, by your powerful intercession, obtain for me the grace to live a holy life and die a holy death.  I beg you to obtain for me (mention your petition).  But if what I ask is not for the glory of God and for my well-being, obtain for me,
​I beseech you, what will more certainly attain these ends. 
Amen.
