PRAY, REFLECT, AND ENJOY FELLOWSHIP WITH US

Jesus assures us that when people gather in His name, He is present among them. If Sister Annella’s cause for beatification and canonization is close to your heart, we invite you to join one of our prayer gatherings.

We’ll pray the Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy for our intentions and Sister Annella’s cause. Afterward, join us for food and fellowship!
