Prayer Vigil...
MONTHLY EUCHARISTIC ADORATION--NOV. 2
     "Our spiritual lives will grow and our apostolates flourish, on one condition:  that we center our lives on the Eucharist.  Why?  Because the Eucharist is Jesus Christ living on earth, in our midst, today."  (Father John Hardon, S.J.)
Adoration will be held in our Chapel from 9 a.m.--9 p.m. on Thursday, November 2.  The southwest church door will be open during those hours.  You are encouraged to sign the boards at the Church entrances so that our Lord may be constantly attended.
