Sister Virginelle

In the psalms we learn to trust, worship, praise, thank and offer contrition. They show us life as it is — with its ups and downs, joys and sorrows. In the times of the Israelites, King David and Jesus, worshippers looked to these prayers to raise their awareness of God’s love. Even in our times, the psalms can speak to us, as well.

Throughout Lent and the coming Spring, Sister M. Virginelle Makos will again host Praying with the Psalms at Monocacy Manor in Bethlehem, Pa. Join Sister each month (February through May) for special programs that spotlight the psalms as centerpieces of prayer.

We will meet in the first-floor conference room of St. Francis Center at Monocacy Manor. Sessions are set for 10 to 11 a.m. on the following Thursdays:

• February 15

• March 21

• April 18

• May 16

Registration Details: Register for single sessions or for the entire series. Freewill donations will be accepted in person or online by clicking here. Please note that Praying with the Psalms is offered in person only this year. If you prefer to register by phone, contact Lauren Martin at 610-867-8890 or lmartin@schoolsistersosf.org.
