John 6 Cenacle

Christ the King Parish has a small prayer group, a "cenacle."  The Divine Mercy website describes a cenacle as a, "…small faith-sharing group. It is as old as the Church itself. The idea contained in the word cenacle is derived from the meeting of our Lord's followers in the upper room where Jesus instituted the Eucharist and washed the Apostles' feet. It was there that the Apostles received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost." From there, they were sent out. We too are sent out and more than ever before, our prayer and actions are needed in this world we live in.

The Eucharist is Mercy Himself - thus the name of our John 6 Cenacle with a focus on the message of Divine Mercy as found in Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Diary of St. Faustina, with a special emphasis on the Eucharist (Divine Mercy website).  The foundation of our cenacle is the Eucharistic Apostles of Divine Mercy, which is an apostolate of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

The John 6 Cenacle meets September - May for only an hour every Monday beginning at 7pm.

7:00-7:05 - Pray the Angelus
7:05-7:10 - Praise and Gratitude to God for Graces Received

Anyone who is interested in attending a Cenacle meeting to find out more is welcome to pop in.

We are using the following books at each Cenacle meeting:

• Cenacle Formation Manuals - these are the guidebooks we use at each meeting.  Each guidebook is used for approximately one year. You can purchase each of the three guidebooks one at a time before each year, or as a set of three from shopmercy.org. You may wish to consider purchasing the only the first guidebook for the first year, and then as time goes on, purchase books two and three.
• Bible
• Catechism of the Catholic Church - First or second edition, this can be ordered from a variety of places or bought locally.  It can be found at amazon.com
• St. Faustina's Diary: Divine Mercy in my Soul - this can be ordered from various places, such as the smaller print version available from amazon.com or the larger print version also from amazon.com
