More Women are Needed at Holy Hour!
The Next Holy Hour is Thursday, August 5, 2010
Come Sit with Jesus in the Tabernacle: "Remember the First Thursday Holy Hour" Holy Hour: The First Thursday of Each Month
Christ deserves more than just your casual remembrance, and certainly your body and soul deserve a night off from whatever your flesh desires most. Begin a journey of faith with the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament--the reason for the Holy Hour.
Holy Hour, usually led by Father G or Deacon Bob, in Lyke Chapel is packed! (The crowd is comprised mostly of men, as the Men's Bible Study and Dinner Fellowship follow it). Yes, Holy Hour often looks like a "Men Only" affair, with sometimes only three women in the crowd of 21.
More women should come out...but, if you can't come and you'd like a copy of the study notes, contact the parish office.

Join the faithful (far too few) who assemble each First Thursday for Holy Hour. Afterall, you can plan your attendance now.

Fortunately, there's no cover charge, and no minimum...Christ already paid the price...admission is free.

Regarding the Holy Hour, at every First Thursday of the month, Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque said]: [The Lord] "told me at that time [1674] that, every night from Thursday to Friday, I should wake up, at the time which he appointed, to pray five Paters (Our Fathers) and five Aves (Hail Mary's) prostrated on the ground, with five acts of adoration which he had taught me, to render him honor in the extreme agony which he suffered at the night of his Passion."[...]
Our Lord himself revealed to Saint Margaret Mary the spirit in which this exercise should be done [...]:
1. To appease Divine wrath;
2. To demand mercy for sinners;
3. To make reparation for the Apostles' abandonment of Christ.
From the French-Canadian edition of Father Crawley-Boevey's Holy Hour (Back to Bulletin)
“One of the natural signs of a true Paulist is that he would prefer to suffer from the excesses of liberty rather than from the arbitrary actions of tyranny.”
Father Isaac Hecker, founder of the Paulist Fathers
