Prayer
Prayer is central to Catholic life. Prayer provides opportunity for us to deepen our relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Through prayer we are able to come into His presence where we can lay our weariness and heavy burdens at His feet. In prayer we receive many graces and we are able to intercede for others. In our Parish we are fortunate to have many opportunities to participate with others in the Liturgy of the Church. These are foundational works of the Church and essential sustaining and nurturing Parish life.
Adoration
The Blessed Sacrament is exposed at the time listed below, mostly in silence. Come along at any time for the hour, half an hour, just for a few minutes, or even just to say hello to our Lord. Bring a book, pray, kneel or just sit and listen in His presence.
