We meet every Friday starting at 7:30 PM for prayer worship. The venue is the St. Francis de Sales church (chapel) on Maria Drive, Loudonville, New York. The service includes the rosary, Word sharing circles of the forthcoming Sunday's Bible readings, followed by fellowship. These activities are open to all who are eager for the Word. Note that entrance is through the rear doorway of St. Francis church. We hold separate services for Mark 10 (3-6 years old), John 6 (6-12 years old), Youth (12-18 years old) and adults.
Every first Friday of the month and on certain Holidays of obligation, the community sponsors a Eucharistic celebration. The usual venue is the St. Francis de Sales church on Maria Drive. We also publish monthly a newsletter, the Salt and Light. BLD-Albany also sponsors monthly teachings as part of its Discipleship Formation Program. Once a year, the community sponsors a Marriage Encounter weekend or Youth Encounter and a Life in the Spirit Seminar. Candidates for these weekends are asked to have undergone the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, first communion and, for couples, matrimony . In all these activities, the community seeks God's guidance and His greater glory. |
