Prayer

A way of prayer. A way of life.

FSPA have been praying before the Blessed Sacrament continously day and night since August 1, 1878, representing the nation's longest-running, nonstop prayer vigil.

 

"I knew that wherever I was there were at least two people praying for me...there is power generated here at St. Rose Convent."
- Sister Mildred Tigges

Adoration is about more than private prayer

 

True adoration is about being present before God and then taking God's presence into the world. The adoration that takes place in the Mary of the Angels Chapel at St. Rose Convent sustains hundreds of sisters and their partners in ministry around the world and calls for peace and justice on earth.

In 1997, FSPA invited men and women in the La Crosse, Wis., area to be Eucharistic Prayer Partners - allowing them to spend some quiet time away from their busy world, to deepen their relationship with God and to pray for the needs of others.
