Spiritual Activities

PRAYER CHAIN
The prayer chain is a group of men and women who are willing to pray for any person or intention at the request of a parish member. Anyone who can pray and faithfully call the next person in the chain is welcome to join. Any parishioner may request prayers by calling the chain coordinator.

PRAYER AND PRAISE
The Lord says, “For where 2 or 3 have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst”. We meet each Monday evening in the chapel. We begin with penitential prayer, voice our petitions to God, then spend most of the time in praise and thanksgiving. Much of this is spontaneous and includes reading from the Bible and singing songs of praise.
Eucharistic Exposition is included on the 2nd Monday of the month.

CHRIST RENEWS HIS PARISH
Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) is a process designed to bring members of the parish closer together with Christ. It is an avenue for spiritual growth and friendship. Men’s and women’s renewal weekends, given for parishioners by parishioners, are scheduled during the year. Dates are publicized in the parish bulletin. Attendees are invited, but are not required, to continue in a formation process that provides for deepened spiritual growth and fellowship.

CARE OF THE SICK AND THE ELDERLY
Ministers to the sick take Holy Communion to the sick, homebound and parishioners in nursing homes, on a regular basis. Communal Anointing of the Sick is scheduled a few times during the year; individual Anointing of the Sick can be scheduled when a person is seriously ill or facing surgery. Please be sure to let the rectory office (253-5171) know when a
family member enters a nursing home, or if you have a homebound member who wishes to receive Holy Communion or Anointing of the Sick.

MEN’S FELLOWSHIP
Meets on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 8:00-9:00 a.m. in the Witzman Center. This group formed in response to the Annual Men’s conference, “Answer the Call,” held in Cincinnati each Spring. We follow the recommended format of prayer, and topical discussions related to scripture as affects our role in our families, work and the world.
