Presence: A Contemplative Gathering


❤️ FREE ADMISSION

7 pm – 9 pm, Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2024
419 Youville St., Winnipeg, MB

Presence is a contemplative gathering – held at the beautiful, peaceful chapel at St. Benedict’s Monastery – intended to nurture experience of the love of God. 

Our time together will feature silence, listening to scripture, a short teaching by Suhail Stephen, and quiet prayer. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided afterwards in the chapter room. 

If you are drawn to spiritual direction, contemplative prayer, or simply seek to deepen your experience of God with others who have a similar desire, we welcome you! 

Note: Space is limited to 30 participants; please register (either by indicating that you’re going in our Facebook event or contacting us directly) to reserve your spot. 


This Sunday: Godly Play

This Sunday is our Godly Play service – a contemplative and “innovative method of faith formation for childhood and beyond. Godly Play allows participants to experience faith-building stories through intentional storytelling and imaginative wondering.” We will begin with an activity, hear a Gospel story (“Jesus Calms the Storm”), have a time for prayer and response (with art supplies!), and finish with communion. The entire service is intentionally hospitable to kids/children, and is equally meaningful for adults alike.
