Prayer Resources
Prayer is the place where we become aware of God’s love, presence and action in our lives. In our tradition we take time for personal reflection and prayer each day and participate in the liturgical rhythm and sacramental life of the Church. Prayer is at the heart of our meetings and decision-making processes, and marks significant times of commitment, transition, loss, celebration and joy.
