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.
