Pray With Us!

March 1

We often find an excuse not to pray. We would like to offer you an excuse to pray and a chance to come join us in prayer. Each Wednesday we have Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. We begin with Exposition at 7:30 a.m. and continue through the school day until 1:30 p.m. when we have Benediction. Throughout the day, Theology classes take turns spending some time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. You are invited to join us. If you are interested, please follow this link to sign-up. If there is any change to the schedule, we will be sure to keep you informed. Thank you for your willingness to pray with us and for your example of prayer for our students.
