Historic St. Joseph Chapel to Host Taize Prayer Service and Concert June 5

MILWAUKEE - May 14, 2013 - PRLog -- The School Sisters of St. Francis invite everyone to the historic St. Joseph Chapel on Wednesday, June 5, 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 and adoration will begin at 6 p.m.  

At 6:45, a concert featuring soprano Grace Urbanski will extend the prayer, leading listeners more deeply into the joy, simplicity, mercy and hope of Christian life. In addition to maintaining a busy performance schedule as a soloist, Ms. Urbanski has performed for many years with the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus and alongside the Cathedral Chorale and Bach Chamber Choir.

The focus of both the prayer and the concert will be “Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God.”

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).

For more information about the program or prayer, please contact Sister Mary Jane Wagner, Director of Music Ministry, at 414-385-5246 or by email at mjwagner@sssf.org.
