Adoration of Our Lord in the Eucharist in our Adoration Chapel can be a transforming experience. Miracles of conversion for our children, peace for us, physical healings, and many other wonderful things happen where the Lord Jesus is adored in the Blessed Sacrament.Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta said, "the best time you will spend on earth is the time that you spend with your Best Friend Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."
Select one hour a week as your special time to be with Our Lord in a quiet place; no distractions, with only Jesus to speak to you. Join with 330 other parishioners to experience putting Jesus in the center of your life for one holy hour.
The 330 parishioners have been scheduled on a prayer team. There are 24 prayer teams; one for each hour of the day. Members of the prayer team substitute for each other when necessary. They all work together to make sure that someone is in the chapel each day at their hour. Choose an hour that you can commit to. Sign-up forms are in the narthex on the Perpetual Adoration table.

Last spring there was a bulletin notice concerning the support of the Reintegration Program for Veterans at St. Francis House in Little Rock by the Village Knights of Columbus, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and the Order of the Purple Heart. The response was excellent as many parishioners, and their neighbors, came forth, (and still are) with clothing and personal hygiene items to support our Veterans. A big thank you to all those who donated. St. Francis House processes approximately 50 Veterans every three months since the program began in 1986. Therefore, donations of clothing and personal hygiene items are always in need. To make a donation of such, contact Mike Kerwin at 922-1531 or Phil Carl at 922-9245 to make pick-up arrangements. You can also support the program by making a monetary donation to the Knights of Columbus St. Francis Fund.
