Growing in our Relationship with God

• Make prayer a part of our lives through individual and communal prayer, public and private prayer.
  
• Through prayer we are invited to draw closer to Jesus and to imitate Him in our daily lives.
  
• While Eucharist is central in our spiritual life, other prayer opportunities are made available.
