| Bible Study | Schedule Varies |

| Prayer | |
| Each week we gather before the dinner discussion (see below) to pray and share concerns and joys with one another. The structure of the prayer time varies from week to week, from praying the Rosary, to reflecting on a passage from Scripture, to Evening Prayer from the liturgy of the hours, to an open time of silence in which we offer our needs to God. All are welcome and no prior experience with a given form of prayer is necessary. | |
