New Life Prayer Group

- Meetings are the first Tuesday of every month from 7:15-8:15 PM (i.e. following 6:30 PM Mass) in the church.
  
  For this reason, I remind you to stir into flame the gift of God
  that you have through the imposition of my hands.
  2 Tim 1:6
  
  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.

  The Catechism on the Importance of Prayer
  
  Prayer groups, indeed “schools of prayer,” are today one of the signs and one of the driving forces of renewal of prayer in the Church, provided they drink from authentic wellsprings of Christian prayer.
  -Catechism of the Catholic Church 2689
  
  "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit" have to remain with us always and bear fruit beyond the Eucharistic celebration. The Church therefore asks the Father to send the Holy Spirit to make the lives of the faithful a living sacrifice to God by their spiritual transformation into the image of Christ, by concern for the Church's unity, and by taking part in her mission through the witness and service of charity.
  -Catechism of the Catholic Church 1109
  
  The assembly should prepare itself to encounter its Lord and to become "a people well disposed." The preparation of hearts is the joint work of the Holy Spirit and the assembly, especially of its ministers. The grace of the Holy Spirit seeks to awaken faith, conversion of heart, and adherence to the Father's will. These dispositions are the precondition both for the reception of other graces conferred in the celebration itself and the fruits of new life which the celebration is intended to produce afterward.
  -Catechism of the Catholic Church 1098
  
  Within the communion of the Church, the Holy Spirit "distributes special graces among the faithful of every rank" for the building up of the Church. Now, "to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good."
