EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
Adoration Hour in the Church - FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH
after the 8 am Mass to Benediction at 9:15 am

MAKE A VISIT - IN THE QUIET, IN THE PEACE
Pope Benedict about adoration . . .
"Far from being a privatized, ethereal devotion, as some fear, adoration is a basic posture in life, an invitation to fall in love with Christ and to let that love bear fruit in everything that one does.
One gazes at Christ like a parent at a newborn child or newlyweds at each other: delighting in the beloved's presence, being still and often silent with each other, kneeling in gratitude and awe.
Adoration must surely give rise to the service of neighbor, but that service will flounder if it loses a sense of wonder before the one who loves us first."(World Youth Day, 2006)

ROSARY
The Rosary is prayed in common prayer (together) in the church from 6:30 am to 6:50 am Monday through Saturday and on Sunday from 7:00 am to 7:20 am prior to Mass.
The Rosary is also prayed in Church every Tuesday morning after the 8 am Mass. The Elizabeth Ministry and more (men, women and children) gather in the "cry room" to pray together - everyone is welcome.
The Rosary can be prayed in the East Transept near others or from anywhere in the church.  The first part of all of the prayers can be heard from anywhere in the church.  Rosary Prayer Sheets are on the table in the East Transept.  These sheets are available for anyone to use in church or to take home.
