Eucharistic Adoration

As part of the celebration of the Feast of Corpus Christi, and as part of the Celebration of the Year of Faith, Pope Francis has requested that the faithful might join in in an hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament this Sunday, June 2nd.

So at the same time as Pope Francis is doing that in St. Peter’s in Rome, we will have an hour of Exposition, ending with Benediction, from 4pm to 5pm, here at Mount St. Alphonsus this Sunday, June 2nd.  All are welcome to join us for all, or part of, that hour.
