Christian Meditation Ministry

Blessed Sacrament’s Christian Meditation Ministry promotes the practice of Christian meditation in our Parish. If you are interested in learning about Christian meditation, we invite you to join us. Youth are especially welcome.

Meeting Details

We meet every Sunday, from 7:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. in the Parish Library. At our meetings, we listen to a recording of a talk by Father John Main. Then, we meditate for 25 minutes.
