Mons Nubifer Sanctus
The silent contemplative prayer retreat is at the heart of the training on offer at Mons Nubifer Sanctus. Participants enter into a deep and regenerative silence, spending many hours together each day engaging the practice of still prayer (Christian meditation). This is punctuated by the chanting of the psalms at morning, noon, and evening prayer services, and a daily period of silent work helps us to carry our prayerfulness into everyday activities. All participants have an opportunity to take advantage of the Sacrament of Reconciliation (confession) and/or to receive individual spiritual direction during the program. Contact info@monsnubifer.org or by calling 607-832-4401.

A Taizé worship service involves sung and chanted prayers, meditation, a period of silence, liturgical readings, and icons. There is no preaching. The style of prayer practiced at Taizé has attracted many worshipers from around the globe and from many different denominations. The prayers consist of “short chants, repeated again and again,” according to an introduction in a Taizé songbook. “The words are sung over many times.”
Our Festival of Lessons and Carols will be Sunday, December 9 at 4:00pm and Monday, December 10 at 7:30pm. A Free-will offering will be taken. This is the 26th year of our very distinctive festival of Lessons and Carols for Advent from Celtic and African-American traditions featuring John Kirk and Trish Miller along with Dan Berggren, Joel Rosenberger, Field Horne, Theresa LaGatutta-Bruno and Kristin McCabe Refreshments follow in the Parish Hall. CDs of favorite songs from past performances will be available for $15.
Dec 13 – 15: Introduction to the Theology and Practice of Contemplative Prayer
Mons Nubifer Sanctus
Dip your feet into the ocean of contemplative practice in the classical Christian tradition. Through an engagement of scripture and patristic and liturgical texts, participants gain a solid theological and historical foundation in Christian spirituality, put to work through a guided immersion in contemplative prayer. Learn how contemplative practice touches, deepens and unites all aspects of the Christian life: serving the Liturgy, study, serving others in our livelihoods, and in the Christian moral and ethical life. Learn the essentials of Christian prayer and how prayer can be deepened; how to chant the daily prayer offices in morning, noon and evening prayer services; how the Christian sacramental and communal life supports and deepens contemplative practice, and how to maintain prayer in activity and to make activity prayer. Participants have the opportunity to avail themselves of individual spiritual direction and/or the Sacrament of Reconciliation (confession) during this retreat. Contact info@monsnubifer.org or by calling 607-832-4401.
