Prayers for Peace
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
On Sunday, December 28, we will have a time of prayer during the normal Forum time, 9:30 AM. We will meet in the Chapel. During this time, we will offer triad prayers for peace in the coming year. I invite you to join us in this gentle, reflective gathering and join your voice with the voices of your brothers and sisters in prayer.
Please feel free to invite friends and family.
Blessings!
Sister Genevieve Lynn, OSB
