Tuesday Reflections Prayer Gathering 

The Mercy College family is encouraged to participate in a weekly reflection and prayer time on Tuesdays from Noon to 12:30 pm in Brennan Hall Chapel lead by the Caring Hearts in Prayer Ministry Team members and Deacon Dave O’Brien from the Medical Center Pastoral Care Department. In keeping with Mercy’s mission to further the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, Tuesdays are opportunities for students, faculty, staff and administrators to join together in unity as a campus community to share the liturgical readings for the day, reflect on them, and join in prayer.  Our intent is to seek God’s will, power and blessing both individually and collectively. Mark your calendars to set aside time for Mercy College’s Weekly Reflection and Prayer gatherings.

Caring Hearts in Prayer Ministry Team

Chapel on Tuesdays

The Christian Theological Traditions class taught by Dr. Joe Moravec in the Spring semester presents “Chapels on Tuesday”. The entire Mercy College community is invited to join the class every week on Tuesday starting January 2009 from 1:00 – 1:30p.m. in Brennan Chapel to sample some of the many variations in Christian worship traditions. A schedule will be posted in January 2009.

Special Prayer Intentions

Several faculty and staff members who comprise the Mercy College Caring Hearts in Prayer ministry team are available 24/7 through email to pray for those individuals desiring or needing special prayer. All requests are handled on a confidential basis, unless noted otherwise by the petitioner, and can be emailed to Mark Kloberdanz.
