F.X. will also tell the story of his brother's miraculous cure. Refreshments will be served and there will be a veneration of the relic of the saint.

For over 20 years Our Eucharistic Lord has been exposed for the adoration of the faithful 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in our Blessed Sacrament Chapel. Our faithful parishoners sacrifice their time and energy to pray before the Blessed Sacrament to make up for the little love Our Lord Jesus receives from so many throughout the world. It is a wonderful thought to consider how many graces have poured forth from our parish for the sanctification and peace of the world by the prayers of our parishoners before the Holy Eucharist. Perpetual Adoration makes our parish truly special. 

Will you consider becoming a Guardian of the Blessed Sacrament?

Choose any hour of any day or night to honor Jesus in the Holy Eucharsit. Call Marty or Clarice Suchy at 8.45.692.4510 to become a Guardian. 

"A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."--St Padre Pio

"Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer."--St, Teresa of Calcutta
