The City of Westchester is located close to Los Angeles International Airport and is home to Loyola Marymount University.
The Christian Meditation Center is guided by an Advisory Council and staffed by Volunteers
The Center's immediate purposes are:
- Teaching Christian Meditation
- Meditation Group Meetings
- The Contemplative Parish Project
- Spiritual Direction in Contemplative Practice
- Roots of Christian Mysticism Course

Longer range goals
are to serve an ever widening geographic area. The
vision extends beyond
Los Angeles and vicinity to the State of California,
to other US States and some Pacific Rim countries.
This is one of the Christian Meditation Centers, which
is in association with the
WCCM around the
world.
ABOUT THE WCCM-USA
The WCCM-USA is part of an international community of meditators, the WCCM. Over 200 Meditation groups are found throughout the United States.
Local and regional coordinators support meditators and group leaders in their practice of a method of Christian prayer rooted in the gospels and the contemplative tradition of the Church. Father John Main, a Benedictine monk (1926-82), by whose teaching the Community is guided, reintroduced the tradition to religious and lay people.
Sponsored by the Cornerstone Christian Meditation Center, Phoenix, AZ, the US National Council held its first Annual National Conference Christian Meditation, An Infinite Expansion of Love February 23 - 25, 2007 in Scottsdale, AZ.
The 2008 US National Council meeting will be held at Manresa Retreat Center, Detroit, MI. May 23-25, 2008. It will be preceded by a US National retreat with Fr. Laurence Freeman May 16 – 22.|
