SPIRITUAL ADOPTION:
Hello again from your Spiritual Adoption Baby! It is now 35 weeks since my conception - only one more month to go and I'm really growing. My lungs are maturing, getting ready for my birth. But please don't forget to pray for me every day! Because abortion is legal in all nine months in our country, there are some of us little ones who may still be in danger.~~~
DIVINE MERCY PRAYER GROUP: Today, Divine Mercy is more important than ever. There has never been a better time to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the rosary. Come join us on Mondays at 7:00 p.m. in the Adoration Room.

PERPETUAL ADORATION Can you spend a specific hour each week with Jesus in the blessed sacrament? Deepen your "prayer life". Jesus is with us...always. Please sign the visitor's log in the chapel when you visit.
