Lent is a time of retreat before the Easter celebrations. it prepares us for the festival of our liberation. In communion with Christ in the desert, each Christian is invited during these forty days to a conversion - to turn his or her entire being towards God.

Join us for an evening of prayer and song as this experience of Taize Prayer and the joy of God's forgiveness sustains us on this journey.

Holy Spirit School of Prayer - Lent 2010
All are invited on a Lenten journey to a deeper prayer life by learning more about the Third Person of the Trinity and how the Holy Spirit can lead you closer to Jesus. The goal of this school is to create a spiritual environment akin to that of the "Upper Room" (the very first school of Christian prayer). Those who attend will have a real and present experience of Pentecost in their lives.

Join us for six Thursday evenings beginning Feb. 18th in the St. Vincent Parish Center Assembly Room at 7 pm. Fr. Fred Byrne OSB is our Spiritual Director for this event. For more information call Fr. Fred at 724-532-6655 or Alecia Moss at 724-836-6869.
