CENACLE PRAYER ENROLLMENT
The mission of the Cenacle is comprised of three interrelated elements: Prayer, Ministry and Community
Life. Prayer, as is true for all of us, is directed to deepening our relationship with God and surrendering to
God's will. Another important aspect of prayer in the Cenacle is interceding for the needs of our world, the
Church adn those who entrust their intentions to us.
Anyone living or deceased may be enrolled. Cenacle Prayer Enrollment is ideal for an individual or group
who wishes to share the joy of a special event, to give comfort and prayer support during illness or crisis
or to express sympathy for the loss of a loved one.
