Faith Formation Links
Four Evenings on Prayer
“My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.” Mt.26:36-46
(Jesus’ Prayer, in union with Ours!)
Prayer is a “vital and personal relationship with the living God, it is the raising of one’s mind and heart to Him”. The essence of our prayer is communication, forming a spiritual communion with Him, through adoration, worship, supplication, confession, praise and thanksgiving.
Come join us and experience some different types of Prayer; Lectio Divina, Praying in Color, Centering Prayer and Healing Prayer.
The workshops will be held on Thursday evenings, April 23rd and 30th, and May 14th & 21st, from 7:00 – 8:30 pm.
To register please contact the Parish Office at 744-2391 ext. 10, or Religious Ed Office at 744-9944 ext. 11

Upcoming Events for
Young Adults of the Hudson Valley

New York City recently has their first ever MASS MOB which was a huge success as over 250 young adults from the NYC area converged on St. John the Baptist Church & Friary in Manhattan on August 24th to give it a little attendance and financial boost for that weekend. Hopefully in the near future we will be able to organize a program like that in the Hudson Valley. To read more about the NYC Mass Mob in this week’s Catholic New York, click HERE. We are adding to our social and network media by creating a LinkedIn group to help Catholic young professionals from across the Hudson Valley connect to share their businesses, networking opportunities, job opportunities and information on how to incorporate your faith not only into your personal life but into your professional lives as well. To join this group on LinkedIn, click HERE. There are a number of volunteer and/or paid positions for youth ministry, campus ministry and catechetical positions (Religious Education) open across the Hudson Valley. If you are interested in being involved with the youth, please contact us so we can connect you with a local parish in need. Get involved with the Young Adult Office’s “You Did It To Me” Apostolic Volunteer Program. We want to help you get connected to volunteer opportunities at soup kitchens, nursing homes, homeless shelters, hospitals, and other great works! Interested in volunteering with kids (Big Brothers Big Sisters) and/or kids with special needs? Or how about “disaster relief” like helping those affected by Superstorm Sandy?
