The Downtown Family of Catholic Parishes will offer a Lenten Taizé Prayer Service on Sunday, March 10, at 7:30 p.m. at Blessed Sacrament Parish, 1029 Delaware Ave., Buffalo.
In our very busy world, it can be difficult to set aside time to be quiet and present to the Lord. We invite you to spend 60 minutes in an evening of meditative prayer.
The practice of Taizé Prayer began in Taizé, the Burgundy region of France, at the time of World War II. The prayer service is characterized by repetitive, mantra-like songs (such as “Jesus, Remember Me”), prayerful silence, and short scriptural readings. These elements guide the focus of the prayer in a candle-lit environment.
Following the prayer service, a wine and cheese reception will be held in St. Joseph’s Hall at Blessed Sacrament Parish. Those planning on attending are asked to RSVP here or to Michael Pitek at: 716-480-8313 or Michael@thepitekgroup.com.
Free off-street parking is available in the school lot of the Catholic Academy of West Buffalo. The lot can be entered at Lexington and Delaware Avenues, or from Linwood Avenue.
Friends and neighbors of all denominations are invited to join us in this ecumenical Lenten renewal prayer service of song, scripture and silence.
