Solidarity with Sisters' communal prayer on Zoom

Our Zoom communal prayer on Sundays (10:30 AM Eastern) includes readings, contemplative reflection, space for many voices to offer personal awareness, and shared prayer.  

Our Zoom contemplative times (Tuesdays 7:30 PM Eastern, Wednesdays 2 PM Eastern) open with a reading, offer 30 minutes of silence, and close with optional sharing and prayer.

We started because COVID closed churches and continue because of the Spirit.  We hear God's presence in listening and voices.  There's humble and joyful surprise in becoming a community across North America and sometimes crossing oceans.   About a dozen teams take turns in planning, always drawing on Sunday's scriptures for the Sunday communal prayer.  We nourish each other in living the Gospel in solidarity with vulnerable people and with Earth.

Examples of both Sunday and weekday gatherings are below.  Email us for more information.
