Spend some quiet time with Jesus
The response from our parishioners to spend an hour with Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration has been so very beautiful! We are averaging 8-12 adorers at every hour, often many more. For the time being going forward, we will not have the sign-up sheets on the clipboards in church, as we have established a solid foundation from which to build this ministry. We ask that you please honor your commitment in the weeks ahead. Should you not be able to make it, you are encouraged to ask a friend to take your place, if possible.
Everyone is welcome to come into church for 5, 15, 30, or more minutes--Jesus will be happy to see you! Eucharistic Adoration will continue to be held the first Sunday of every month from noon to 5pm, ending with Evening Prayer and Benediction, and every Monday from noon to 7pm, ending with Benediction.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call Anita Schragen at 215-512-4910 or Theresa Kuhar at 215-694-3709. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Monday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.
Join us in the church as we pray for all special intentions of our parish.
