Join with the Sisters of St. Joseph for Taize Prayer & more

All are invited to join us on March 19, 2026 at 7:00pm at the Sisters of St. Joseph Motherhouse, 637 Cambridge Street, Brighton, MA for our next Taizé prayer service. We envision this gathering as a way to bring hope to others at this crucial time in our world.

We have selected March 19, 2026, which is also St. Joseph Day to be in participate with the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in what is called, “100 Days of Prayer, Fasting, and Advocacy”. These 100 Days are scheduled from Wednesday, February 18 (Ash Wednesday) thru Sunday, June 7, 2026 (Feast of Corpus Christi). LCWR member congregations have been asked to select a specific day of prayer to address societal challenges through collective, intentional prayer, fasting, and advocacy for justice.

The Sisters of St. Joseph believe that prayer matters.  We know that prayer leads us to respond to the needs of the people of God. For generations, we have fasted from what distracts us from keeping God as our center point. Many of us experience the desire to respond to ever-increasing division with a call to love with hearts of contemplation and action. Recognizing the Gospel call and our values of contemplation intersected with action, we continue to to deepen our commitment to extended times of silence and prayer while also using our voices to speak truth with courage.

Ebenezer Scrooge: A Christmas Carol

New Life Fine Arts’ spiritually uplifting musical adaptation of the 1843 Charles Dickens’ classic tells the story of the tight-fisted curmudgeon, Ebenezer Scrooge, and his personal transformation as he is supernaturally confronted with the haunting truth of his wounded past, his spiritually impoverished present and his woeful future.

“Ebenezer Scrooge: A Christmas Carol” is directed by Concord composer, David MacAdam who wrote the adaptation while living in England, where it was first produced in 1984.

For over 25 years, thousands of NLFA patrons have been given an inspirational glimpse into the true meaning of Christmas and are encouraged to spread their holiday cheer throughout the year.

“I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round
— apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin,
if anything belonging to it can be apart from that —
as a good time;”

– Fred, Scrooge’s nephew in Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”

Revelation in Ecumenical Perspectives

As a part of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture series, Rodney L. Petersen, (PhD, Princeton) along with Gerald L. Bray (PhD, La Sorbonne) have co-edited and published the volume on the highly enigmatic and consequential Book of Revelation under InterVarsity Press. Sixteenth-century Reformers, much like interpreters today, show a diversity of opinion on how Revelation is to be understood, whether through more spiritual and Last Judgment connotations, or as a snapshot in historical context. Much like the vast social and political upheaval in the time of the Reformation, we have called upon Rodney and his colleagues to remark upon Revelation in ecumenical perspectives today. Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries (CMM) and the Boston Theological Interreligious consortium (BTI), two of Rodney’s previous places of directorship, are helping to put this conversation together with friends—at the Boston University Marsh Chapel on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 3-5pm—for an afternoon of retrospection and future revelation. (This will also be, in a way, an opening for AAR/SBL Boston, which begins the next day.) Click here to purchase the book
