The final session is a celebration with an introduction to the “walk with one” initiative from the Eucharistic Congress with tips on how to walk with one this Easter Season.

Each session begins at 7 PM and the breakout is as follows:

The Centering Prayer Group invites you to join us in walking to Calvary with Jesus, as we meditate on the Stations of the Cross, beginning Thursday March 6th, 2025.

We meet once a week in the Nazareth Center at 9:30 AM until 11:00 AM on a Thursday morning. Come when you are available and when you can’t make it you can pick up the information at the Nazareth Center and read it at home so you will know where we are at when you are able to attend. We would love to be able to share together our insights into the Stations as this helps us to grow to a fuller, deeper personal relationship with our Lord, Jesus.

Give yourself the gift of spending some quiet time with the Lord, to reflect, to meditate, to pray together as you renew, refresh and re-energize. As you continue to grow in deeper levels in your spirituality.
