"We should consider those moments spent before the Blessed Sacrament as the happiest of our lives." – Saint John Vianney
Holy Family Parish is pleased to announce a return to a more regular schedule for Eucharistic Exposition and Adoration, starting in July, with hours at each parish, the first weekdays of the month. We are seeking faithful Adorers to sign-up and spend an hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Our ability to provide these opportunities and grow this devotion
depends on the active participation and willingness of our parishioners to fill in the schedule, so someone is always present when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed. As an extension of the Liturgy, this is a time to medi- tate more deeply on the mystery and adore Jesus in the ultimate Sacrament of Love. In addition, our “First Week” of Adoration, will include Benediction at 6:15PM, on Monday July 5th, at St. Januarius, prior to the 6:30PM Mass.
We will also have a Family and Children’s Holy Hour at St. Irenaeus Church on Wednesday, July 7th from 5:00PM - 6:00 PM. During this time, families are encouraged to stop in with their little ones to experience the Real Presence of Christ, without the pressure of silence.
Please note that we are now using Flocknote for sign-ups. You may utilize the following links to volunteer for a Holy Hour. To receive future Flocknotes regarding Eucharistic Adoration, please log into Flocknote, and subscribe to the group “Holy Hour and Adoration Times”. Please call the office if you need assistance signing up for adoration.
Monday, July 5th at SJAN: 12:00PM – 6:30PM, with Benediction starting at 6:15PM https://holyfamilypgh.flocknote.com/signup/60328
Tuesday, July 6th at SJV: 8:00AM – 2:00PM https://holyfamilypgh.flocknote.com/signup/60331
