CENACLE PRAYER ENROLLMENT

 Through the prayer ministry, the Cenacle Sisters fulfill an important part of their mission in the Church. They open their hearts to the Holy Spirit, asking for light and strength for the Church, for the world, and for those who request their prayers.

 Anyone living or deceased may be enrolled. Cenacle prayer enrollment is ideal for an individual or group who wishes to share the joy of a special event, give comfort and prayer support during illness, or crisis, or express sympathy for the loss of a loved one.
