Contemplative Outreach Support Group meets weekly to encourage the practice
of Centering Prayer. The group meets each Monday from 7 - 8 PM in the bride's
room to study the method of Centering Prayer as presented by Fr. Thomas Keating
and others, to practice Centering Prayer in a group setting, and to share
our experiences and questions regarding Centering Prayer in an environment
which supports and honors each member’s personal spiritual journey. No previous
experience with Centering Prayer is necessary; all that is needed is a desire
to deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ through this ancient Christian/Monastic
prayer practice.
