Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

Volunteers in this Ministry of Prayer spend one hour before the Blessed Sacrament in our Adoration Chapel between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday and between 1:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on Sunday. This Ministry of Prayer provides an important spiritual basis for the life of our parish, our family and our community. Individuals who share in this ministry grow in their relationship and love for the Lord, especially in the Eucharist, and experience much inner peace and joy. Volunteers are scheduled for adoration and should be prepared to accept consistent time commitments, with the possibility of several persons being scheduled for specific hours.

Cursillo and Cursillo Ultreya

Cursillo is an adult faith formation weekend designed to deepen the laity's sense of vocations within the world.
