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.
