The North American Vocation Team (NAVT) of the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) invites young adults ages 18 and older to a monthly online evening prayer on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST (7 p.m. CST) via Zoom. Upcoming dates for evening prayer are September 26, October 24 and November 28. More information and registration for the Zoom links is available at ssnd.org/events/.

Participants experience evening prayer in the rhythm of the Liturgy of the Hours interspersed with faith sharing and/or other prayer styles such as Lectio Divina, Taizé or Contemplative prayer.

“Since 2020, our online evening prayer has allowed us to connect regularly with sisters and young adults all across the U.S. and Canada,” said Sister Bridget Waldorf of the NAVT. “We enjoy sharing our daily communal prayer with those who are seeking to better recognize and understand God’s presence in their lives.”

The NAVT accompanies young adults as they discern God’s call while informing them about religious life and especially the mission and charism of SSND, an international community of almost 2,000 women religious founded in Bavaria in 1833. Learn more at ssnd.org.

The RAM Series is a small-group study where singles can learn a logical and Biblical sequence for pacing a dating relationship in a healthy way so that they can follow their hearts without overlooking or minimizing warning signs. In this six-week series, singles are taught that when they guard their hearts by building a dating relationship in the safe zone, they can use their heads to explore the five strongest predictors of what a partner will be like in a long-term relationship, and specifically, marriage. They are put in the acronym FACES™ (Family background. Attitudes and actions of the conscience, Compatibility potential, Examples of relationship patterns, Skills of healthy relationships)

The central teaching framework of the series is the Relationship Attachment Model™ (RAM) – an interactive tool that identifies the five key bonds that make up relationships: Know (exploring key areas of a partner with talk, togetherness, and over time), Trust (forming an accurate trust-belief of a partner), Rely (meeting meaningful needs within a relationship), Commit (investing in a partner and defining your relationship), and Touch (expressing affection while practicing boundaries in sexual closeness).

The RAM Series at St. Cecilia – St. Gabriel will occur over six weeks. All sessions will take place in the parish rectory from 7 – 9 PM. The cost for participation is $15 per individual.

September 28th, 2023- Session One: Following Your Heart Without Losing Your Mind

NOW (Night Of Worship) is happening on October 27^th at 7:00 PM at St. Mary Parish in Ridgefield, Connecticut. NOW’s mission is to engage young adult Catholics (18-35) in the act we were made for: uniting ourselves to the One Who we desire and offering ourselves as an act of praise. We were made for worship, now and for eternity. This life is not just rehearsal, and this night will serve as a glimpse into our eternity with our Creator.

We’ll hear a witness, have a Holy Hour (with Adoration, Confession, prayer teams from Encounter School of Ministry: Fairfield County Campus, and praise & worship music), and young adult fellowship with leaders from several young adult communities present to provide you with the chance to find community.

Click here to pre-register and find out more! You can also leave us your prayer requests. This is open to all young adults (18-35).
