Centering Prayer Work Request Forms are Contact Carol Miller available in the Parish (386) 668-8270 Office and the Church. Centering Prayer is a method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, prayer in which we experience God’s presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself.
