The prayer group is to bring us all into deeper contemplation of Our Lord and God as in the words of the Saint;
What happiness do we not feel in the presence of God, when we find ourselves alone at his feet, before the holy tabernacle! … 'Come, my soul, redouble your ardor! You are here alone to adore your God! His look rests on you alone!' Ah! if we only had the angels' eyes! Seeing our Lord Jesus Christ here, on that altar, and looking at us, how we should love him! We should want to stay always at his feet; it would be a foretaste of heaven; everything else would become insipid to us."
- St. John Vianney
As well as this it's important for us to make good Christian friendships and many a friendship and not to mention some marriages have started here at Corpus Christi. We have a time of fellowship downstairs in our local watering hole The Coal Hole on the Strand.
