EUCHARISTIC ADORATION You may be worried or concerned that you will not know what to pray during an Holy Hour or that God is calling you to share this intimate time with Him. This is taken from “In Sinu Jesu” and will relieve any doubt that our God is calling you and will give you the grace to pray before Him. When you pray, there is no need to worry about what you will say or for what things you ought to ask. It is enough to come humbly into My presence and pray as my Holy Spirit gives you to pray. Come to Him. He is perfect and wants to spend time with you. Open times: Wednesday 2am, Thursday midnight-1am, Saturdays 5am Several Adorers would welcome a second person during their Hour.

Prayer Requests We pray with special love and concern for all those who are ill:
