Our communal prayer life, here at Ozanam, is centered around the Eucharistic celebration which we are privileged to have every morning at 11 a.m. in our beautiful chape.
Ozanam has created a really vibrant and deeply spiritual environment for both the Sisters and the residents.
The structure of prayer throughout the day, from the morning reflections to the daily Mass and the Friday afternoon Adoration, fosters a strong sense of community and devotion.
It allows everyone to not only grow in their individual faith but also to come together as a community to support and uplift one another.
We meet in the common room each morning around 9 a.m. to reflect and share on the day's Gospel, saint of the day, or a significant happening.
At 10:30 a.m., the Rosary is televised. Our Sisters and residents pray along either in their rooms or in the common room.
Thereafter, those who are not able to go down to the Chapel for the daily Mass, follow the televised Mass either in their rooms or the common room.
Communion is taken, every day, to all who are unable to go to the Chapel.
Another practice some of our Sisters and residents take part in is the Friday afternoon Adoration from 1p.m. to 3 p.m. Residents are welcome to go and have a quiet time with the Eucharistic Lord until it ends with Divine Mercy Chaplet.
We are grateful for the space to interact, share our faith, and grow in our understanding and love of God and neighbor.
