Adoration - I need a Sub

Adoration is a form of worship and devotion to Jesus Christ, present in the consecrated host. Christians around the world have worshiped and prayed in this way for at least 750 years.

We are still in need of people to sign up for a weekly hour of adoration. Please consider taking on this responsibility and spending an hour in prayer with Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament.

Adoration will not start for the semester until all the hours are filled. You can sign up by the front desk of the Student Center.

St. Mary's has Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the Hannigan Chapel during the fall, summer and spring semesters. The next training meeting will be on 13 September, 2009, at 12:30 pm after the 11:00 am Mass in the Hannigan Chapel. The Fall 2009 semester Adoration schedule will run to 4 December. Sign ups will be held after all daily Masses starting on August 24th. There will also be a sign up table outside the Main Church after all weekend Masses starting on 22 August. Please sign up so we can start Adoration right away! Otherwise, please feel free to stop anytime in the Student Center and sign up at the Adoration table by the front desk. Chose to give some time to the Lord this school year.

Adoration hours: Monday - Thursday, 7:30 am - 10:00 pm and Friday, 7:30 am to 12:00 pm

Adoration is open to anyone. Please maintain a disposition of silence and reverence in the chapel.

Guardians of the Eucharist

So that the Blessed Sacrament will never be abandoned, St. Mary's has an Adoration team known as the Guardians of the Eucharist. Guardians commit to one hour each week of prayer in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. Anyone who is interested in becoming a Guardian can contact one of the Adoration Coordinators.

There will be members of the Adoration team doing sign ups for the Fall semester after all daily Masses beginning on 24 August. Also, all weekend Masses starting with 22 August will also have a sign up table for you to become a Guardian of the Eucharist. Please also feel free to sign up at anytime at the Adoration table by the front desk in the Student Center. For anyone who signs up to be a Guardian of the Eucharist, come to the training session on 14 Septemer, 2009, at 12:30 pm after the 11:00 am Mass. This meeting will introduce you to the great blessing of being a Guardian as well as the duties of being with the Lord as a Guardian.
