Surround our engaged couples with prayer!
During this weekend’s marriage preparation retreat Jan. 16 and 17, led by our Director of Faith Formation Hans Whitmer, we will be offering Eucharistic Adoration to the public so that the engaged couples participating in the retreat are surrounded by prayer throughout the weekend, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.
If you are able, please consider stopping in to spend some time with Jesus and lift up these couples in prayer as they prepare for the Sacrament of Marriage.
ADORATION TIMES: - Friday, Jan. 16: 6:00–9:00 p.m.
- Saturday, Jan. 17: 10:00 a.m. – 4 :00 p.m.
LOCATION: Eucharistic Chapel (enter through Door C)
Your prayers are a beautiful gift! Thank you!
