Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Can you give one hour a week to the Lord?
12-Hour Adoration begins at 9am on Thursdays and ends at 9pm.
We would like to have at least 2 people in each time slot and several only have one.
Please call Angela in the Parish Office (472-1482) if you can commit to 1 hour of prayer at Adoration each week. Or, feel free to call and ask about a time that works well in your schedule.

Sioux Falls Diocese Events:
+Resources on Medical Decisions and End-of-Life Care: Visit the Office of Marriage, Family & Respect Life at sfcatholic.org/respectlife for a variety of resources, including a diocesan booklet, a sample Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, a planning guide, prayers, links, articles, and more. Perhaps a loved one is in the hospital after a tragic injury or a parent is in a nursing home with a terminal illness. Suffering and death affects us all. Preparing spiritually and practically for an unexpected illness or our end-of-life care can alleviate much anxiety – for ourselves and the ones we love.

+Your car is running because you changed the oil. Why not afford the same loving care to your marriage?
