NEW CANAAN – On March 21, 2019, Emma Ryder, coordinator of The Face of Prayer visited with the Level 1 and Level 2 Confirmation classes at St. Aloysius Parish in New Canaan. Youth & Family Ministry Coordinator, Chris Otis planned the hour-long class to introduce the students to The Face of Prayer initiative, allow them to ask their own questions, and encourage them to pray along with the daily text message as a spiritual work of mercy in preparation to make their confirmation.
Ryder reviewed all of the resources available on the website and where to find them, showed example videos from multiple catechists and reviewed the resources attached with each of the videos. The second part of the class was spent with Father Rob Kinnally, pastor of St. Aloysius, who answered questions previously submitted to The Face of Prayer, as well as five questions asked by the students in the class. The live question and answer session allowed students to fully experience The Face of Prayer and its mission to answer the questions and concerns of young people.
Father Kinnally’s answers can be viewed at www.thefaceofprayer.com/kinnally.
