Fall Book Study Saturdays in the Parish Hall

Fall Book Study

This fall, you are invited to a parish reading of Learning to Pray: A Guide for Everyone, by James Martin. We will meet via Zoom on Tuesdays at 7:00 P.M. and in the Parish Hall on Saturdays at 10:00 A.M.

In Learning to Pray, Martin explains what prayer is, what to expect from praying, how to do it, and how it can transform us when we make it a regular practice in our lives.

A trusted guide walking beside us as we navigate our unique spiritual paths, Martin lays out the different styles and traditions of prayer throughout Christian history and invites us to experiment and discover which works best to feed our soul and build intimacy with our Creator. Martin makes clear there is not one secret formula for praying. But like any relationship, each person can discover the best style for building an intimate relationship with God, regardless of religion or denomination. Prayer, he teaches us, is open and accessible to anyone willing to open their heart.

Purchase your book online or we have 6 copies available in the Parish Office for purchase at $10. (Contact the office at 410-363-1044)
