Goal

 

The goal of Program Seven is to introduce students to how at Scarboro Missions, prayer is an integral part of the life of the community, both in the way that Scarboro's priests and lay colleagues stay in touch with the spiritual meaning of their work together and also in the way that they reach out to the larger community to assist people in finding new ways to enrich their prayer life.
