EASTER BIBLE STUDY
Lectio Divinia during the Easter Season
Ever wondered how to pray with the Bible? How do you interpret what you are reading and find God’s voice in the midst of the pages? One way to pray with the Bible is through Lectio Divina, a guided prayer into God’s word that helps you meditate and listen to what God is trying to tell you through scripture. We will meet on Wednesday evenings at 5:30 pm in the Parish Hall to study the Gospel reading for the upcoming Sunday. No books, no videos. It is all about listening to the Word proclaimed and sharing what you hear. All are welcome!

One Million Rosaries
CAN WE COUNT YOU IN?
Will you be a part of the movement in the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston to pray ONE MILLION ROSARIES FOR VOCATIONS between the Feast of the Assumption on August 15th to the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on Oct. 7th?
It’s never been done here before but WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.
“Behind and before every vocation is always the strong and intense prayer of someone: a grandmother, a grandfather, a mother, a father, a faith community…. Vocations are born in prayer and from prayer: and only through prayer can we persevere and bear fruit.” – Sister Martha Gomez, R.G.S., Delegate for Consecrated Life in the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.
CATHOLIC VOCATIONS include priesthood, religious life, marriage, and single life – callings to join Christ through our Baptism, serving God as we serve others.
ENTER YOUR PLEDGE for the number of rosaries you will pray for vocations.
SHARE this endeavor with their family, friends, and organizations outside of the state, so we will have beautiful souls all over the world praying for increased vocations in our diocese. While rosaries are typically associated with Catholics, non-Catholics pray the rosary as it is recognized as a valid form Christian devotion and mindfulness.
RESOURCES for success! Whether you learned the rosary as a child or just learning as an adult use these resources to help make this popular meditative prayer a part of your devotions.
