About this Event

JPM Week can be intense. If you’re looking for a quiet way to ground yourself amid a full schedule, you’re welcome to join us for prayer and optional, low-key fellowship during JPM26 Week.

Prayer
There are several regularly scheduled Catholic Masses (open to the general public) held at Saint Patrick Catholic Church, located just steps from the Marriott Marquis. All faiths are welcome to attend. Please note that Holy Communion is reserved for Catholics only; visitors from other faith traditions are welcome to remain seated during Communion and join in prayer as they feel comfortable. These Masses are intended as a calm, respectful space for reflection or a quiet start (or close) to your JPM day. Sunday Masses are typically about one hour, and weekday Masses are typically 30 minutes or less.

Optional Low-Key Meet & Greet
After select Masses, feel free to gather near the Praying Scientists Project sign near the church entrance for casual conversation. There is no agenda, no programming, and no pressure to network. You’re free to come and go as you please. The will host the casual meet-up at the following times:

• Sunday, Jan 11 - after the 5:15pm Mass
• Monday, Jan 12 - after the 7:30am Mass
• Tuesday, Jan 13 - after the 7:30am Mass

Who this is for

· Scientists, healthcare professionals, investors, and entrepreneurs attending JPM Week who are seeking prayer, reflection, or a quiet reset

· Visitors from all faith traditions who are comfortable in a Catholic setting

· Anyone looking for optional, low-key fellowship without networking pressure

Who this may not be for
