January Sursum Corda

Some of the most meaningful encounters happen
when we don’t know exactly what to expect.

Join us for our January Sursum Corda gathering, an evening set apart for prayer, reflection, and openness to the movement of the Holy Spirit. This night is an invitation to step away from the noise, lift your heart, and enter a space of holy anticipation.



We are holding space for something meaningful
a voice, a witness, a moment
and trusting the Lord to meet us there.


Monday, January 12
6:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Sacred Heart Cathedral
– 296 Flower City Park, Rochester, NY
Always the second Monday of each month
