Cursillo

Cursillo (Spanish for "short course") is a discipleship program designed to help one understand the personal call to the Christian life. Cursillo involves both a 3-day weekend and ongoing small groups for shared prayer, study, and fellowship.

Education For Ministry

Education for Ministry, also known as EFM, is a four-year program of theological education designed to prepare participants for lay ministry. Students meet weekly in a seminar setting under the guidance of trained mentors at various churches throughout the city. Contact the Rev. Betsy Roadman, Diocesan Coordinator for EFM at roadmanbj@aol.com or 914-271-3501.

Benedictine Cells

A one hour group that meets every other Tuesday in the Memorial Chapel for reflection on the rule of St. Benedict and its meaning for our lives. Participants are welcome to come every week, or just one time. All are welcome.

Centering Prayer

Learn one of the great spiritual practices. Centering Prayer is a meditative form of prayer geared toward the cultivation of interior silence or "centering." The Centering Prayer group meets twice weekly to share reflections, study and practice and to support each other in the discipline: Thursdays after the 6 p.m. Eucharist and Saturdays at 10:45 am. Contact St. Bart's Central for more information: 212-378-0222 or central@stbarts.org.
