Eucharistic Adoration October 9
Parents are welcome and we encourage you to join us for Eucharistic Adoration. Our next Eucharistic Adoration will be held October 9 beginning at 7:30 a.m. and ending with Benediction at 2:45 p.m. Parents can park in the visitor spots and then come in to spend a holy hour with Our Lord. Students and faculty are also invited to come to the chapel during lunchtime, study hall or Theology class.
Read on for some thoughts from a parent who has participated in this monthly event.
“We have a sophomore at Bishop Watterson and have had a great experience. Last year, I had the opportunity to experience the Eucharistic Adoration at Bishop Watterson. This was one of the most beautiful experience to be able to have that time with Jesus Christ, praying for our children, marriages, families and friends and special intentions. I live in Upper Arlington and realize that we have many great options including Upper Arlington High School and The Wellington School. The spirituality and academics make BW a great choice for us. I love spending one hour praying and also love to see our youth praying during Eucharistic Adoration. Priceless.”
–Monica Bond
