Call to Worship & Homilies

We begin each Sunday liturgy with a time of silence to prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate the mystery of God’s love in the Eucharist.  After this time of silence and before the opening procession, one of the sisters gives the Call to Worship to help us center our whole being on the Word of God that will be proclaimed.  We are blessed beyond measure to have brother priests who gift us each week with wonderful theologically rich and relevant homilies.
