As the new school year to begins, the concern that we have for our students, faculty and staff is real. This is a time for us to pray and focus on our relationship with God. We are all praying for an end to the pandemic and hopeful that a safe vaccine will be developed soon.
The administrators, faculty, staff and students of our Catholic schools and our Religious Education programs in our parishes will be focusing on learning and practicing four types of prayer:
- Intercessory Prayer
- Lectio Divina
- St. Ignatian Prayer
- Visual Prayer.
We have a genuine and urgent call for each of us to strengthen our love relationship with God through prayer. I ask you join in answering that call by participating in our four-part prayer study and practice.
