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.
Michael John Poirier at St. Mel
All Masses August 19 & 20
Catholic singer, songwriter and storyteller Michael John Poirier will be at St. Mel on the weekend of August 19 & 20, presenting at all Masses. Before each Mass he will sing a short prelude and share a brief personal testimony about the Mass and the Eucharist. Mr. Poirier invites us to pray the mass with more love. Receiving the Eucharist with love brings us deeper into Holy Communion.
