Still Point
Old St. Pat’s Contemplative Community Without Borders
Old St. Pat’s Contemplative Community Without Borders
What if one way we live our faith and heal the world begins by becoming still enough to notice how God is already present in ourselves, in one another, and in the lives we are actually living?
Our online chapels offer a simple rhythm of silence, prayer, spiritual reading, reflection, and sacred sharing. Rooted in the Christian contemplative tradition and open to wisdom from other spiritual traditions, Still Point reflects Old St. Pat’s commitment to spiritual formation, radical welcome, and transformative kinship, extending that community beyond our walls.
Whether contemplative prayer has been part of your life for years or you are simply curious, you are welcome. Come regularly or join when you can.
There is no experience required, no cost to participate, and no need to have anything figured out. You are welcome just as you are.
Come discover what can happen when you find your still point.

READING FOR TRANSFORMATION, NOT INFORMATION
Rediscover Scripture as a Living Relationship with Christ.
You’ve learned how to study Scripture. But have you learned how to pray according to scripture?
Join us for a four-week apprenticeship in prayer exploring two treasured Christian practices: Ignatian Contemplation and Lectio Divina.
Through guided prayer, Sunday gatherings, and individual conversations with a trained spiritual companion, you’ll discover how Scripture can become more than something you read—it can become a place of encounter with the living Christ.
No previous experience is necessary. Only a desire to deepen your relationship with God.
SUNDAYS • 3:30–4:45 PM
October 11 & 18 and November 7
711 W. Monroe St. • 2nd Floor
Space is limited to 25 participants.
Please register by October 9.
Sliding-scale fee: $75–$150
Includes prayer materials and two individual meetings with a trained spiritual companion.
