EUCHARISTIC CENACLE
First Friday of each month
7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Holy Rosary
(Paused during Lent: Next Cenacle is May 2, 2025)
What is it?
A Eucharistic Cenacle is a small community of clergy and laypeople who meet with the intention of beginning or deepening their relationship with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament through study, prayer and simple fraternity.
​
The monthly Cenacle formation programme aims to help participants to grow in relationship with God and each other by introducing them to a way of life centred on the Eucharist as food for life's daily journey.
​
Who Can Join?
Anyone with a desire to discover Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament and to begin or deepen relationship with him.
When And Where We Meet
On the First Friday of each month for two hours (7-9 p.m) at Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Parish, Ottawa.
Our Formation Programme
New format starting May 2: The Cenacle will consist of an hour of reflection and group sharing followed by an hour of silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
​
The first hour of the Cenacle will take place in the parish hall in the context of a round-table, faith sharing meeting. A short, informal presentation by Deacon Mathew on aspects of the Eucharist as source and summit of the Christian life will precede a longer opportunity for participants to share their own reflections. Enjoy the time together with complimentary refreshments!
For the second hour, participants are invited to spend time in Eucharistic Adoration in the church.
​
Texts we study
Reading material will be provided. Please bring a notebook and pen for personal reflections.
