The Circle: Weekly E-Newsletter 08/01 - 08/07
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTWe are beginning the migration of The Circle email list from the Stanford listserv to a yahoogroup. The list will eventually serve all young adults in San Jose's "Deanery 2" (St. Athanasius, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Nicholas, St. William, St. Simon, St. Joseph and Stanford) and those beyond that elect to be on the list. Sometime in the next few weeks you will receive a yahoogroup "invitation" to join. In order to continue to receive Deanery 2 wide emails, you need to respond to the invitation in the affirmative within a 30 day window as the list will be "closed," i.e. not open to random people joining on a lark.

Taize Prayer at Mercy Center
Dear Fellow YA,
Every first Friday of every month, Taize Prayer Around the Cross is offered at Mercy Center in Burlingame at 8 p.m. This ecumenical spiritual experience draws people from all over the Bay Area. Taize (named for the town in France where the ecumenical movement originated) is simple Christian phrases/chants set to music and then repeatedly sung in community. Some of you may well be familiar with Taize heard mostly during Lent (Stay with Me, Jesus Remember Me, etc.). The Young Adults of the Diocese of San Jose have a long-standing tradition of monthly carpooling to Mercy Center for Taize, then going out for dinner afterward.
Carpooling is encouraged as parking is limited and prime seating is at a premium, so it is best to arrive at Mercy Center by 7:30.
Please bring a pillow to pray in comfort.
See you on First Friday.
Peace and God bless,
Rob Manfrey
