250 Hours Adored!

On July 1, at 2:40 p.m., with the help of four ardent adorers, St. Charles Borromeo Parish completed its 250 Holy Hours of Adoration in Commemoration of 250 years of our Nation’s existence. Thanks to ALL who have participated throughout the season.

The night before, over twelve pilgrims came and stayed after Adoration and Vespers to break open the Sacred Scriptures, drink coffee, enjoy fellowship, and pray. We will continue to meet Tuesday nights (6 p.m.) and urge anyone looking for deeper communion with Jesus through shared faith to join us!

250 Hours of Adoration

Dear Parishioners,

    In commemoration of 250 years of our nation’s existence, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has asked all U.S. Parishes to offer up 250 Hours of Adoration to the Blessed Sacrament… by the Fourth of July!

    If you, like myself, think we can do it, here’s what we’d need:  20 souls offering Adoration every Wednesday afternoon (Eucharistic Exposition after 12:10 Services) and 44 adorers offering Adoration every Sunday, from now until July 1st (even visiting at the Tabernacle). That would be around 250 hours.

    So if you’re with me, come to Adoration and bring somebody with you. See you there!

Sincerely in Christ,

Deacon Dan Maher
