Taize Prayer and Concert at Historic St. Joseph Chapel August 7

MILWAUKEE - July 23, 2013 - PRLog -- The School Sisters of St. Francis invite everyone to the historic St. Joseph Chapel on Wednesday, August 7, 2013, for “The Beatitudes: Living Christ’s Call in the Maze of Daily Life.” Using the ecumenical prayer style of the brothers of Taize, France, a meditative service of readings, songs, silent reflection and prayers of intercession will begin at 6 p.m.

At 6:45, a concert featuring organist Audrey Timm-Rhinehart and soprano Nicole R. Moritz will extend the prayer, leading listeners more deeply into the joy, simplicity, mercy and hope of Christian life.  The focus of both the prayer and the concert will be “Blessed are the merciful; for they will be shown mercy.”

The event is free and open to the public.

St. Joseph Chapel is located at 27th and Greenfield (1501 S. Layton Blvd.) in Milwaukee. Free parking is available in the lot behind St. Joseph Center, accessible on 29th and Orchard (Alexia Circle entrance).
