November Taizé: We celebrate those upon whose shoulders we stand
Taizé is an ecumenical, meditative prayer experience using music, chants and scripture. We gather for prayer on the first Thursday of every month. Each month we focus prayer on a particular theme.
This month, on All Souls Day, we celebrate all those upon whose shoulders we stand. We believe in the Communion of Saints, and those who have died continue to be part of our lives. They can pray with us. We can pray with them. Join Us.

November Taize: Celebrate Those Upon Whose Shoulders We Stand
During November, we celebrate those who have gone before us, our ancestors upon whose shoulders we stand. We celebrate the Feast of All Saints, All Souls Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving Day. We remember their positive influence on our lives.
The Art of Invitation
An Assembling God’s Puzzle video
By Fr. Garry Richmeier, C.PP.S.
Using threats, shame and guilt to gain another’s cooperation is expedient but ineffective over the long-run. On the other hand, inviting someone to join us in a common work or goal, respects the other, is more constructive and more often results in substantive and long-lasting change.
