St. Augustine's Holy Spirit Prayer
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
that I always may be holy.
Amen

There is no cost to participate, and no theatre experience is needed—just a willingness to support and be a good friend.
Please visit the Theatre Charlotte website for more information. Questions can be directed to Dr. Maria Leahy or Penguin Project Artistic Director, Chris Timmons. and feel free to reach out with any questions or interest. Save the date to attend our performances on June 19-21.
