 Every Wednesday we have adoration in the Rectory Chapel
 from 5:00 -  7:30pm.   Please take advantage of the opportunity to  spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Bring your worries, cares and concerns, your words of Thankgiving and Praise to the Lord Most High.  Put on the brakes from your busy life to talk to God.  Pray for someone you love, a spouse, a child, family or friend who needs your support.  Pray for our country, peace in our cities, end to violence, poverty and racism.  Jesus is waiting for you.  

     Adorers can sign up in the Flocknote or by calling the parish office.
