First Saturday Devotion

Posted on by Jackson Brunsting

February 1st, after 7:30 a.m. Mass

The devotion of First Saturdays, as requested by Our Lady of Fatima, carries with it the assurance of the graces necessary for salvation at the hour of death. However, to derive profit from such a great promise of Our Lady, the devotion must be properly understood and duly performed. The requirements as stipulated by Our Lady are, on the first Saturdays of five consecutive months: Confession, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, and to do all these things in the spirit of reparation to my Immaculate Heart.

Please join us for 7:30 a.m. Mass. The recitation of the Rosary will immediately follow in the Church.

Meeting Christ in Prayer

Posted on by Jackson Brunsting

An 8-Week Life-Enriching Experience

Learn How to Pray as an Adult

As a child, you were taught how to pray. Now that you are an adult, you have probably outgrown some of the ways you prayed as a child. So just how do adults pray? Come and see for yourself. Meeting Christ in Prayer is an engaging eight-week guided prayer experience designed for small groups. It is modeled on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, which is a tried-and-true method of spiritual renewal. By means of prayer, reflection, and faith sharing, Meeting Christ in Prayer introduces participants to various ways of praying, helps them form regular habits of prayer, and provides them with an opportunity to meet Christ anew and to experience support in the Christian life in a new way. No prior experience in praying with others is needed, just a desire to renew one’s faith, enrich one’s prayer life, or become more aware of God’s presence in everyday life. A $10 donation is asked to offset the cost of the book.

Sessions will meet on Sunday mornings after the 9am Mass starting January 26 @10:30am and Thursday evenings starting on January 30 @ 7pm.

If you are interested in participating in a Meeting Christ in Prayer or would like more information, please contact: Dr. Doug Muir (dmuir@smip.org) 815-436-2651 ext. 889
