| Companions in Ministry |
We are a group of women of Saint Matthew parish
who meet each Wednesday from 10:30 am to 12:15 pm in the
Convent at 3040 Cottman Ave (the entrance to the convent is on
Hawthorne St.). We share warm loving companionship, we gather
and read the Scripture for Sunday, then faith share how the
Scripture relates to our own daily living and loving the Lord.
We then go to the Chapel, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed on
the altar for adoration and prayer. We pray from the Christian
Prayer book, which is the reading of the psalms and
praying our petitions. We then have quiet moments of prayer
with our beloved Savior, then the Blessed Sacrament is reposed
in the tabernacle and we depart. If you are interested, call
Sister Marita Anthony 215-333-8214, or just come, you are most
wel-come to join us. |
