A Bit Of News:
The Blessing Shop will be open before and after Kriya on Thursdays. For other times, simply call Muktima at 585-734-9232, and she will be happy to meet you.
A prayer jar near the Divine Mother’s altar at the back of the temple is a wonderful, tangible way to leave your heartfelt concerns in our sacred space. You are most welcome to write down your intentions when you are here. You may also email your intentions to prayers@assisi-institute.org.
Do you enjoy fellowship after Kriya on Thursdays? Your help is needed! We are looking for volunteers to host fellowship time by providing set-up, clean-up, and simple snacks. Email Purnima here for more information.
When you come in person for a service, please bring non-perishable food items to support St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality. You will find a large container in the south (main) foyer.
