Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Our Adoration Chapel operates from Monday at 9 am until Thursday at 8 pm, with closure over one night period. We encourage you to consider spending an hour in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament weekly. If you feel you are unable to commit to a specific hour, consider becoming a sub, who fills in on occasion when it works in your schedule. Contact Don Waechter for more information at 5193-364-1185.
Adoration Prayer Cards Available from the parish office for $2. Consider a spiritual gift with a card ‘For someone special’ Wording inside: “You and your intentions were lifted up to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament during my Holy Hour of prayer” A great way to extend your care and God’s love & blessings!
Card Party Tuesdays Join with others for a friendly game of euchre or solo on Tuesdays at 1:30 pm in the Holy Family Lenhard Room. All are welcome, bring a friend. Admittance: $2.
Scripture Quote to Ponder and Put in Action:
“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” Hebrews: 12:1
Reflection on Today’s Gospel: Mark 10: 2-16 Discussion Questions:
- Who had the best marriage you have witnessed? Why was it so special?
- If you were to give advice to newly weds what would it be?
- How can this faithfulness apply to our spiritual journey and our relationship with God, as individuals and as a married couple?
