EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
We all need to take a step back
from our busy lives and come visit
Jesus. We have a great opportunity
every Tuesday all year round to
stop in and spend some quiet time
with Him during Eucharistic
Adoration. We have a wonderful
group of people who have each
committed their time, but we need
your help.
We’d like to have two or more people committed
to each hour; we also need to compile a list of
people who are willing to be called upon as
substitutes when the regular adorers are unable to
be there. If you would like to participate in this
important ministry, please let us know. We have
a particular need for the 2 to 3 pm hour. Please
contact Anne Chavez at [email protected]
or 610-793-2154 or call the rectory to volunteer.
“Spend as much time as possible in front of the Blessed Sacrament and He will fill you with His strength and power.”—Mother Teresa
