Be still and know that I am God.  (Psalm 46:10)

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,
and with all your strength, and with all your mind;
and your neighbor as yourself. (Luke 10:27)                                                    

Our  Mission

Our mission, as Contemplative Outreach of Rochester, New York, is to foster the transformation in Christ, to share Centering Prayer through the offering of Introductory Workshops and programs, to provide formation and support for Presenters and Facilitators, to encourage formation of new Centering Prayer groups while supporting existing groups, and, to be in solidarity with all other contemplative communities of faith.
