Growing in the Life of Prayer and Spiritual Practices
Sunday Worship: Living the Message and Meaning of Sunday Worship
On Sunday, we gather as the Body of Christ to celebrate the Lord's Day, the day of Christ's Resurrection, with our participation in the Sunday Eucharist. Celebrating the Eucharistic Liturgy and receiving Holy Communion should strengthen us to be more like Christ in our daily lives.
Preparing for Sunday or daily liturgy by reading and reflecting on the scripture readings will help us to more fully participate in and benefit from our Sunday celebration. We invite you to Break Open the Word.

Prayer is a way to connect with the Divine.
The Catholic Faith is rich in spiritual practices including many different types of individual prayer, community prayer, and practices of caring. There are prayer forms that will be fruitful for anyone from the most traditional Catholic to someone who is spiritual but not religious.
Our current prayer page features prayers, poems, and hymns inspired by the Holy Spirit.
In addition, we invite you to learn about different prayer forms on our Prayer Page. You may also be interested in Catholic Spirituality in Practice, C21 Resources, which contains articles on Lectio Divina, The Ignation Examin, The Morning Offering, Praying with Images, Labyrinth Meditation, Eucharistic Adoration, Liturgy of the Hours, the Rosary and much more.

Spirituality: Find your spirituality type, identify your spiritual gifts, and learn ways to grow in spirituality.
Within the Catholic Church there are many types of spirituality. We speak of “Benedictine spirituality”, “Dominican spirituality”, or “Franciscan spirituality” - to name a few. These spiritualities have their origin in great spiritual leaders after whom they are named; Benedictine spirituality is from St. Benedict and so on. A particular spirituality is a specific system, or schema of beliefs, virtues, ideals and principles which form a particular way to approach God and therefore all life in general. They all arise from the same Christian heritage and aim at the same goal – to love as Jesus loved.
