Early every Saturday morning, the members of this ministry perform the loving task of freshening the sanctuary, chapel and
sacristy of our parish for the week’s coming activities. 
An ancient tradition in the Church, contemplative prayer is a time set apart to rest in God, to open our minds and hearts
— our whole being — to God, the Ultimate Mystery, beyond thoughts, words and emotions. Quietly
consenting to God's presence and action within, we find our attention may also move outward to discover God's presence
everywhere.
