Taizé, France, is a monastery known as a place of prayer and pilgrimage. The brothers there have developed a prayer experience that is replicated throughout the world. We have been doing it for several months here in our parishes. For Lent we have increased the number of occasions. It will take place on Tuesdays, February 28, March 14, and March 28 at 7:00 p.m. in Saint Kilian Church. It lasts about 45 minutes and is a beautiful prayerful service. Please join us.
