40 Hours of Adoration
June 5 – June 7
All are warmly invited to join us for 40 Hours of Eucharistic Adoration over the Corpus Christi weekend, beginning Friday, June 5 at 3:00 PM with the Divine Mercy Chaplet in the church, followed by a Eucharistic Procession to our chapel, and continuing through Sunday, June 7 at 8:00 AM.
This beautiful devotion, deeply promoted in the United States by Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, invites us to keep watch with the Lord, just as Christ asked His disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane. It is a powerful opportunity to step away from the busyness of daily life and enter into quiet, intentional prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
Your presence matters, and we invite every parishioner to commit to one hour of prayer. We especially encourage the men of the parish to help cover the overnight hours between midnight and 7:00 AM. More than one person may sign up for each hour, and you are welcome to sign up for additional times as the Lord calls you to accompany Him in prayer.
Sign up here (Select "40 Hours")
