Lenten Friday
Soup & Stations
Fridays during Lent
In solidarity with the poor and suffering, please join our St. Mel community every Friday in Lent for a ministry sponsored soup meal at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium, followed by Stations of the Cross at 7:00 in the church.
Donations will be accepted for those in need.
(On Friday, March 15, we'll have our Scout-sponsored Fish Fry rather than soup)
Contemplative Prayer
Mondays at 7:00 p.m.
Contemplative prayer, the oldest expression of prayer, is a path toward the order, balance, and harmony God intended.
All we need to do is show up empty-handed and open-hearted. Join us for silent prayer in the intimate St. Mel Convent Chapel.
For further information, please call Michelle Waters at (310) 489-0253.
