Eucharistic Adoration and Prayer
Fr. Ken writes, “tonight, we will have a time of prayer for the church, the victim-survivors of abuse, the sanctification of bishops, priests and all those who work in the church.”
“Feel free to stop in for a few moments of prayer, or stay the whole time.”
“…the Eucharist will be exposed in adoration. We will start with a Bible reading and then continue in silence. We will ask that no one prays aloud as to give everyone the chance to pray as they wish.”
Our Knights of Columbus council is honored to donate prayer books to be used during this important prayer services.
