This is an opportunity for deep intimacy and greater connection with Jesus. During your time, you can pray, be silent or engage in spiritual reading. This devotional prayer practice allows us to praise and adore Jesus, and also for our gracious Lord to reach out and adore us. Come for 10, 20, 30 minutes or any amount of time, for quiet prayer before our Lord Jesus. To commit to one hour, contact teresa@padreserra.org Also visit: Prayer, Lent |  |
This is a beautiful, wonderful, friendly bunch of folks! Every year with about 600 children and teens enrolled in after school learning, we really need about 100 loving, happy adults to help teach and lead. This small army of volunteers are the face of Jesus and his church to our young people. Our Faith Formation staff do all the work! We plan and write all the lessons, prepare all the games, crafts and other materials. We create teams of two to lead the sessions then train, mentor and guide you throughout the year. You are never alone. You just have a great time rolling it out with your partner. Contact: tere@padreserra.org

Silence is God's language. Centering Prayer is a method of contemplative silent prayer that opens us up to experience God's presence within us. Both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship, Centering Prayer serves to enhance other prayer forms. Come and rest with God!
