Todays Catholic

SOUTH BEND — An ecumenical evening prayer service during the Worldwide Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in January 2013 will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m. at St. Matthew Cathedral. The church is located at 1701 Miami St. in South Bend.

Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades will preside. Right Rev. Edward S. Little II, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana, will preach.

Bishop Little’s reflection will focus on Galatians 3:23-29, on faith and oneness in Jesus Christ.

There has been a tradition in the South Bend area of alternating evening prayer services between St. Matthew Cathedral and the Episcopal Cathedral of St. James.

A light reception will follow.

All Christians are welcome to come and join in this prayer. While an RSVP is not necessary to attend this ecumenical prayer, if a large group plans to attend the event planners would appreciate a message so that preparations can be made for the prayer and the reception.
