The nocturnal adoration society

Looking for new members!
The Nocturnal Adoration Society is still Looking
for New Members
Nocturnal Adoration takes place on the 1st Saturday of each month, overnight from 9pm to 7am, Sunday morning.
Upcoming Dates: September 9-10, October 7-8, November 5, Vigil at 1pm, followed by member luncheon, and December 2-3.*
Most people find that being in front of the real presence of Jesus enhances their time of prayer. They sense, in a tangible way, that time spent in Adoration is time spent with Our Lord, responding to Christ’s invitation to keep watch with him. We believe you’ll find it to be rewarding and restful, that being in the presence of our Lord will allow you to feel his Spirit. Interested? Pamphlets are available in the vestibule.
For more information or to sign up, please contact Andrea at 845-234-0584, the parish office at 845-496-3730 or [email protected].
