Centering prayer is a method of prayer - 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening - that is rooted in Christian contemplative tradition. Abbots John Main and Tom Keating of the Benedictine order are the initiators of this form of prayer. While primarily an individual practice, centering prayer can also be done in a group. We welcome visitors who would like to experience this prayer in a group setting. For current meeting information, please see the event section of this Web site. If you have questions about centering prayer at St. Mary's, please contact Fr. Dennis Dillon, S.J. or call 734-663-0557, ext. 246.
