Called to Common Prayer
With the Rt. Rev. Catherine Roskam
Tuesday, May 23, 6:30 p.m.
House of the Redeemer, 7 East 95th Street, Manhattan

Come find out with Bishop Roskam, priest-in-residence for May 15-26, as we explore common prayer as a particularly Anglican treasure. Free of charge, but please RSVP at
info@houseoftheredeemer.org or 212-289-0399. For other events at House of the Redeemer, visit
