Holy Spirit Prayer Group

Jesus said, “For where two or more are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.” (MT 18:20)

The Holy Spirit Prayer Group gathers together every Tuesday evening from 7:00 to 8:30PM in the Church to spend time with Jesus and each other in prayer.  No commitment is needed; all are welcome whether they come every week or they drop in whenever a program piques their interest.

This Charismatic prayer group has a focus on intercessory prayer.  Each session begins with a time of prayer and praise, followed by the main program and concluding with a prayer circle where personal petitions are offered.  Anyone wishing for particular prayers are prayed with.

The main program varies from week to week, and is announced in the Sunday Bulletin.  Often Rosaries and other prayers are offered for our Parish, our Country or in reparation for sins committed against the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  Occasionally, there will be a teaching about a saint, scripture, devotion or other topic that aids in the growth of our faith.  Special programs during Advent and Lent assist in the preparation for Christmas and Easter.

If you have any questions, call Carol Jacob at 451-1344.

The Jesse Tree has long been a way to prepare during Advent for the coming of Christ at Christmas. There are twenty five different ornaments – one for each day of December up to Christmas Day itself. Each ornament represents a person or a time in salvation history. For instance, there is an ornament for Adam and Eve and also one for Noah, Jacob, Joseph, and many of the Old Testament patriarchs.
We will begin our journey through salvation history as we read and reflect on the pertinent Scriptures for each ornament of our Jesse Tree. Come and join us on Tuesday evening in Chapel at 7 PM in this powerful and prayerful way of preparing our hearts for the Christ Child. All are welcome!

We wish to stay focused on the miracle of His birth and not get sidetracked by all the many details that make up the secular holiday.
