Prayer
How do I fit God into my busy life?
It starts with prayer.

Faith calls us to serve and respond to God through prayer. Prayer has often been described as communication, communion, or dialogue with God. It is the human response to God’s revelation and activity in the world.
Prayer is an essential component of our spiritual growth. Yet our “Spiritual Check-Up Survey” found that men and parents with children under 18 are struggling to find time to pray daily. As a parish, we have to teach and create more opportunities to grow in prayer as individuals and as a community.
In response to the survey findings, St. Patrick’s has begun a “Prayer Initiative” that will examine ways to assist people in developing a rich and meaningful prayer life.
