Ministries of Prayer

Please click on SCHEDULES  at the top of the Volunteer Opportunities menu to the right for all current ministry schedules.

Eucharistic Adoration
Coordinators: Larry & Bea Cates 857.2163

Eucharistic adoration is a devotion in which the members of a parish unite their efforts to pray constantly day and night, before the Most Blessed Sacrament. It is prayer of adoration and intercession for the world, the church and our parish. 

It is there to supply a living witness to the Lord's Real Presence in the Eucharist; a continual guard of honor; incessant thanksgiving, prayer, and reparation for the parish, the diocese, the church and the world; and an opportunity for silent, private prayer and listening in His Presence at any hour of the day or night. Consider this hour of adoration as something you give to Christ, a special time for saying "Thank You" for all His love and forgiveness.

CHAPEL INFORMATION

Centering Prayer
Coordinator: Karen Gookin 509.962.9648

Centering Prayer is a modern adaptation of the age-old practice of contemplative prayer. Developed in the early 1980s by a Trappist monk named Father Thomas Keating, Centering Prayer offers a prayer-relationship with God which takes place in silence. This group meets each Monday, 5:15 to 6:00 p.m. in the Meditation room.
 

Compassion Corps
A ministry new to St. Andrew’s that reaches out to those who grieve the loss of a loved one.

An interactive group, Compassion Corps will meet at noon on dates to be announced in the parish bulletin.  Bring your own lunch.  Those interested in participating may join the group at any time and may continue as long as participation is helpful. Transportation can be provided.  Please contact the parish office (962-9819) for more information.
 

Our Mother of Perpetual Help
Tuesdays at 8:30 AM
 

Prayer Chain
Coordinator: Rosemary Harrell 925-1015

The purpose of the prayer chain is to offer anyone asking for prayer, the promise and commitment that their concerns will be lifted up to God in prayer by the prayer chain members. Respecting the confidentiality of those who request our prayers, the members of the prayer chain relay the prayer request to the prayer chain members by telephone.

Schoenstatt Rosary Shrine
Coordinators:
Heidi Klindworth 509.925.9763, Shirley Rossow 509.925.1273,
Mary Ellen Watson 509.962.5600

All parishioners are welcome to have the shrine in their homes to pray the rosary in its presence, to invite Mary in to bring renewal and to work miracles of grace. The shrine, which dates back to Schoenstatt, Germany in 1319, was destroyed during Napoleon's time, and was reinstated as a movement in 1914. St. Andrew's has three shrines that rotate among parishioners for 2 days to 2 weeks at a time.
 

Wives in Prayer
Contact: Emily Stickney 509.968.9195

We gather on Fridays to pray for our husbands, study the Bible, and engage in joyful camaraderie.
