Taize Evening Prayer 
First Friday of the month, 7:30 p.m.

Starting in 2010, Christians from all traditions have gathered monthly at St. Richard's for candlelit evening prayer. Using the meditative music composed for the monastic community of Taize, in France, this moving form of prayer is almost entirely sung.  Music is led by a multi-voice choir, soloists, and an instrumental ensemble. The centerpiece of the evening is several minutes of holy silence.
