Join the Wheaton Franciscans on Friday,
March 6, 2020 for Taizé Prayer Service.
Taizé is a Christian ecumenical prayer service that is designed to achieve a contemplative state and Christian unity through participation in song, scripture and silent prayer. It helps to quiet the mind and open your heart to God.
Tau Center offers a peaceful and reflective setting for individuals and groups seeking to carve out space for deepening their inner lives. Spend a retreat day at Tau Center and enjoy the grounds, our Peace Path, Chapel, Meditation Room and Quiet Rooms, as a way to reconnect with your authentic self, your dreams and visions, and the Divine within.
Many people long to find meaning in their lives and grow closer to God and others. But sometimes, it’s hard to know just where to start. Spiritual direction can be the next step on your journey. Christos Center for Spiritual Formation offers a program to people interested in being trained as spiritual directors and/or deepening their own spiritual lives. For details click here.

Centering Prayer is a form of contemplation or meditation that has been practiced for centuries within the Christian tradition. It is simply a way to learn how to experience God as a loving presence within our lives. The fruits of Centering Prayer are rich. All are welcome to come join us each month - both beginner and experienced.

Writing opens windows into our inner-life. Writing can keep us centered, help us discover new aspects of ourselves, and new perspectives on our lives. When we come together as a community of those who write, we share these discoveries in a safe circle.

The season of Lent is characterized by prayer, fasting, and doing good works in preparation of the celebration of Easter. During this sacred time, we are encouraged to reflect on the mysteries of Christ's journey from life to death to new life, what the Church calls the Paschal Mystery.
