CONSIDERING EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
In considering a day of the week and time of day for
Eucharistic Adoration, as well as how often a month to
hold it, there is a sign-up sheet is located in the Narthex.
It lists Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, to see which
is the most popular. Although not determined yet, we are
generally considering the time to be an hour following
morning Mass (8:15 AM to 9:15 AM; 8:30 AM - 9:30
AM Saturdays).
Contacting Patricia Hatch at 571-730-9224 is another
way to show interest and indicate time and day and
frequency.
So far Tuesdays are looking
most popular, with Saturdays
coming in second. As yet the
turnout is less than suggested
by the diocese to consider this a
popular devotion. Calls will be
made to ascertain the most
convenient time for and
frequency of adoration.
