Our Lady of Star of Hope Prayer Group

First Thursday morning of the month. Begins with the rosary at 8:30 am followed by Mass. This special prayer group, for the mentally ill and their families, meets every week in order to share and find strength and peace. In praying the rosary, they ask the Blessed Mother to intercede for family and friends who suffer from mental illness. Those who participate find solace in gathering together at St. Ignatius Retreat House and no one is afraid or embarrassed to seek out others in similar situations. They share their own encounters and healings in order to encourage one another and in an attempt to erase the stigma attached to mental illness. Everyone is welcome. Coffee/Tea and cake after Mass.
