Taizé EN ESPAŅOL

TAIZÉ at ST. LUKE’S

Taizé at St.Luke's is an hour of meditation and prayer using the simple meditative, chant-like music of Taizé community( see below). Readings in both English and Spanish together with periods of silence encourage people to meditate and pray in their own ways in an atmosphere of calm and acceptance. At this evening service, the church is filled with candlelight and welcomes weary people from the work day into a haven of peaceful music and contemplation on the second Tuesday of each month. Taizé is a non-denominational service and everyone is welcome.

The Community of Taizé

The ecumenical community of Taizé was established in 1940 in a small village in Burgundy, France. Its founder, Brother Roger, laid the foundation for this community of peace as an alternative to what he had witnessed during World War II. In the years since, it has become a site visited annually by tens of thousands from all over the world, including young people in search of peace and answers to their spiritual questions. From its beginnings, the community has worked for reconciliation not only among Christians split apart into different denominations, but for all of humanity. The music developed for prayer and worship allows each person to reflect inwardly, yet at the same time participate communally.(For more information see

Singers and instrumentalists interested in providing a musical background for the prayer service may contact Allen Ronk LaFoe at for more information.
