What is the New Life Prayer Group?
The New Life Prayer Group gatherings focus on experiencing a life of greater intimacy with Jesus. Through praise and worship, preaching and teaching, studying God’s Word and our rich Catholic Tradition, we experience God’s power, presence, and everlasting love for us through the gift the Holy Spirit. This experience awakens our faith, strengthens our ability to resist temptation, and brings many forms of healing. It also increases our hunger for scripture and our thirst for prayer, sacraments, and liturgy, as well as our desire to evangelize. Through the gifts of the Holy Spirit we are sanctified and enabled to build up the kingdom of God.
