Join us on the first Saturday of the month for Eucharistic Adoration immediately following the 8:30a.m. daily Mass, from 9:00–10:00a.m. Spending time in prayer with our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is an incredible way to better hear the voice of God, meditate on His goodness, and take a needed—and edifying—break from our busy lives. Come spend an hour in quiet prayer and reflection in the presence of Our Lord. All are welcome!
