This ministry prays the rosary devotion for the spiritual and temporal needs of our parish, our priest, our Bishop, our Pope, our nation, and that the culture of life will prevail. All attendees to the mass are invited to join. The Rosary begins around 8:05 am, Tuesday through Friday in the church. If you join, you may lead at the appropriate time or just respond in the group.
Every First Friday, Eucharistic Adoration begins with a Benediction after the 8:30 am Mass. One hour commitments are needed from 9 am – 6 pm. Signups ensure the presence of at least two persons at each hour. Adorers are encouraged to bring spiritual reading, do devotions, pray, or just spend time with the Lord in silence. Adoration is also done at the Feast of Corpus Christi. More adorers are always needed.
