“Lord, Teach Me to Pray” is a prayer series, rooted in Ignatian spirituality and designed to help
women and men learn how to pray. Part I, Praying
Christian Virtues introduces Ignatian prayer and
spirituality in the way of St. Ignatius, by structuring the initial prayer experience around the Christian
Virtues.
The facilitators of the series are not teachers or spiritual directors; rather, they themselves are “pray-ers” who pray the assigned material throughout the week just as the other participants do. The facilitators’ main responsibility is to allow for the space within the group that the Holy Spirit needs to direct each person’s journey, allowing the Lord Jesus
Christ to do the “teaching”.
If you would like an introduction to Ignatian Prayer and and to learn more about becoming a facilitator you can attend a free Ignatian Retreat Day at the Basilica in Lewiston on Saturday, July 15. This training retreat will be conducted in a group setting led by Fr. Marty Gleeson O.P. and Carol & John Weiler. Our hope as a parish is to be able to offer the
Praying Christian Virtues small groups to our parishioners in the fall.
Participate in the New Evangelization!!! We inviting you to make Jesus Christ “known and loved” while deepening your own relationship with Jesus. Registration forms and more information can be found on our website. For more information contact Fr. Daniel or Elizabeth Rosquete.

8. The best time you spend on earth is with Jesus, your Best Friend, in the Blessed Sacrament! "How great is the value of conversation with Christ in the
Blessed Sacrament, for there is nothing more consoling on earth, nothing more efficacious for advancing along the road of holiness!" (Pope Paul
VI, Mysterium Fidei)
From “Twelve Reasons ...for Wanting To Spend One Hour With Jesus In The Blessed Sacrament”
The Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul is June 29. This is an ancient feast in honor of their martyrdom in Rome. Together they founded the church in Rome through preaching, ministry and martyrdom. In a sermon in the year 395, St. Augustine of Hippo said of Saints. Peter and Paul: “Both apostles share the same feast day, for these two were one; and even though they suffered on different days, they
were as one. Peter went first, and Paul followed. And so we celebrate this day made holy for us by the apostles' blood. Let us embrace what they believed, their life, their labors, their sufferings, their preaching, and their confession of faith.” Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.
Our parish THAT MAN IS YOU group will meet this summer on the following Saturdays from 6:45AM – 8:00AM at Sacred Heart Church. If you are a husband or father, we would love to have you join us for lessons and discussions about how we can all more fully live our mission as Christian men and leaders of our families. Meeting dates are June 24, July 1, July 8, July 15, July 22, and July 29.
