When You Pray: A Clear Path to a Deeper Relationship With God
Do you ever hear Catholics talk about prayer but feel like you can’t relate?
You know prayer is important, but you still find it challenging. Perhaps it’s hard to find time to pray, or you’re unsure what to do when you do pray. Or maybe you feel restless and distracted and don’t feel close to God.
You might struggle to trust God and surrender to his will. Or maybe you feel discouraged by your many weaknesses and your inability to overcome them. Ultimately, you worry that what you’re doing in prayer isn’t “working,” because you aren’t seeing major changes in your life.
If you have any of these feelings, you are not alone. Many of the saints had similar ones. Even the saints struggled in prayer, had complicated problems, and made mistakes. They were like us. But each time they fell, they got up again and learned to rely more on God’s grace. And eventually they were changed.
Inspired by the real example of the saints, we will learn how to pray with the same consistency, trust, peace, and passion that led to deep transformation in their souls. When You Pray: A Clear Path to a Deeper Relationship with God will help you begin your journey of prayer, rejuvenate your prayer life, and strengthen your relationship with God so that you can give God your entire heart.
​
There will be 7 sessions where we will watch a half hour DVD program through Ascension Press and    Question & Answer following with prayer.

Beginning Wednesday May 27 at 6:30 in the Adult Ed room.

Parish Life is looking for volunteers to host coffee and donuts after the 10:30 Mass on Sundays.  This is a great way to meet fellow parishioners and provide an opportunity for folks to mingle after Mass.  St. Augustine will buy the treats - we just need YOU to make the coffee.

If you have questions, please email Angie Nunley at [email protected].
St. Augustine has a couple volunteer opportunities to help the less fortunate in our local Chattanooga community

1. Help is needed each week making 200 peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.
2. Serve a hot meal to the homeless on the 4th Saturday of the month.

Click on the link below to sign up for one or both of these
​community service opportunities.

You may notice the sign-up page for "serving a hot meal" to the homeless has changed.  The CHATT Foundation has implemented a new sign-up process that we will also use.  The new link is below.  Thank you for your service!
