A Christian Meditation prayer group at Saint Celestine Church meet weekly throughout the year, every Wednesday from 6:15 to 7 pm in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel of the Church. Newcomers are always welcome.
Meditation, also known as Contemplative Prayer, is prayer of silence and listening. In Contemplative Prayer we seek God in silence and stillness beyond words and thoughts. Father John Main (1926-1982), a Benedictine monk rediscovered this ancient form of prayer. Today there are over 800 Christian Meditation groups worldwide.
If you would like more information call Patty Matzke at 708-452-4609.

Touching the Hem: Reflections on Christian Meditation and Healing
Join us for a silent weekend retreat where we reflect on the ways in which Christian Meditation
opens our hearts and minds to the healing power of God in daily life.
In the silence of meditation we open ourselves to the One who heals our wounds,
who restores us to wholeness and the abundant life for which we were created
