Group Spiritual Reflection – On Zoom
May 13, 2025 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
Meet us on zoom for our Tuesday gathering.
Our gathering will reflect upon the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday to guide us on our path of discipleship. As companions on the journey, we listen, reflect and share how the Word speaks to our hearts through the Spirit. There is no need to do any advance preparation for the session. Come as you are with an open heart.
