The Love of Thousands Prayer Cycle Video Podcasts

I am pleased to announce the release of the video podcasts for The Love of Thousands Prayer Cycle at Abbey of the Arts! Featuring seven days of morning and evening prayer, this collection accompanies Christine Valters Paintner’s book The Love of Thousands: How Angels, Saints, and Ancestors Walk with Us Toward Holiness. Each day offers prayers, readings, movement videos, time for silence, and closing blessings. The prayer cycle is available as text, audio and video podcasts. Many of the songs can found on our album The Love of Thousands: Singing with Angels, Saints, and Ancestors.

SpiritPlay Class in Seattle!

SpiritPlay has become a staple of Seattle’s InterPlay offerings! Now in our 24th year, we have developed a wonderful community of faith and foolishness.

8 sessions meeting the second Tuesday of each month at St. Joseph Parish Center

9:45am – 12:00pm

Begins in October 8, 2024!
