With great excitement, we will hold our annual Forty Hours of Eucharistic Adoration devotion beginning on our patronal feast day, October 22, and continuing through October 25. The title for this year is Given Up for You: The Veil Removed. In this first year of the National Eucharistic Revival, we seek to deepen our relationship with Jesus in the Eucharist, realizing two things:
- although he died for all humanity, he would have died if there was only YOU on the planet; and,
- Calvary is made present on the altar and Jesus's Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinty are truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.
Each day of Forty Hours, there will be opportunities for adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament as well as a communal liturgy. During the periods of adoration, you are invited to stop by at any time to spend time with our Lord. If you would like to sign up for an hour, you can do that here: Adoration Sign-up.
