Let us endeavor to integrate the contemplative life and the active life, so that the active life is nourished and strengthened and supported through the contemplative and thus itself becomes rich in blessings.– Mother Clara Pfaender, foundress of the Franciscan Sisters Daughters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (Congregation of the Wheaton Franciscans)

Sunday Liturgy and Prayer
Welcome to Tau Center
We offer a sacred space to assist you on their own spiritual journey – whether it is to reconnect with your inner-spirit or whether you are seeking a deeper relationship with God and the world around you. Enjoy our beautiful campus and take a peaceful walk along the Peace Path – a winding path through a beautiful prairie of several acres planted with native Illinois grasses and small woodlands. This is a beautiful space for a walking meditation, allowing for both spiritual reflection and physical exercise.
