Our world is hurting. We all need healing, yet many of us are separated from the very source of our strength. Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith in the celebration of the Eucharist. The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to this great mystery by helping us renew our worship of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

Are you looking for an opportunity to see what Adoration is all about?  In this season of Thanksgiving and gift-giving, consider giving the Lord and your parish the gift of an hour of your time in thanksgiving for all his blessings.  We will have multiple absences over the Thanksgiving and Christmas weekends as many adorers will be out of town.  Please call or text Kathy Clark at 203-816-7737 if you would be willing to sub on one of those weekends.
