At Saint Barnabas, centering prayer is a cherished

At Saint Barnabas, centering prayer is a cherished spiritual practice that invites us into deeper stillness and communion with God. Rooted in the ancient Christian tradition, it offers a way to rest in God’s presence beyond words, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our hearts and minds gently. We host four weekly online groups and a new in-person gathering, each providing sacred space for silence, reflection, and heartfelt sharing. Read more at saintbarnabas.org/cp-may1⁠
