ADORATION AND OTHER DEVOTIONALS

Adoration and other Devotional practices are quite important, especially to the Local Church.  [I don't think I truly understood the true presence of our Lord in the eucharistic until I met Christ in His tabernacle as Host.]

St. Francis

Tuesday:  8-9:00 PM (Adoration, along with Confession, and praise and worship music.)

Other Times:  The Blessed Sacrament Chapel is found right off the church narthex and is open 24/7.  The Chapel can be accessed from the inside of the church, or, if you wish to visit from 9:00 PM -- 8:00 AM, you can request a key from the Parish Office.

St. Lawrence

Adoration is held one Sunday a month from 11:00 AM -- 7:00 PM.  Notice of upcoming Adoration will be posted in the bulletin. 


St. Mary


Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is held the second Sunday of the month, following the 11:00 AM Mass until Benediction at 7:30 PM.

Exposition also takes place:  Tuesday through Friday, 7:00 AM -- 8:00 AM; and Sundays, 7:30 -- 8:00 PM (except on the 2nd Sunday of the month--see above)

St. Mary also hosts a program, S.E.E.D., or Seeking Evangelization through Eucharistic Devotion.  On the fourth Thursday of every month, the program hosts Adoration after the 5:00 PM Mass.  There is a speaker, then, at 7:00 PM, followed by Benediction, and a reception afterwards for fellowship.


Daily Office:  Also referred to as the Liturgy of the Hours, Daily Office is still recited by a small number of St. Mary parishioners.  At 4:40 (just before 5:00 Mass) Evening Prayer, or Vespers, is recited on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Divine Mercy Chaplet:  Each weekday at 2:55, the Divine Mercy Chaplet is recited in the church.
