Every Thursday after the 7:00 AM Mass until 5:30 PM in the Emmanuel Chapel.  Benediction 5:20 - 5:30 PM.

Through this practice, we are invited to spend time alone with God in His real, physical form, and to bring to Jesus all our cares, concerns, prayers, hopes, and thoughts. We set aside a special time, a respite from our hectic modern lives, to create a personal space in which to meet our God.

Biblical reason for wanting to spend One Hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament:
 

“You can come to me (in Eucharistic Adoration) at any moment, at any time; I want to speak to you and I desire to grant you grace!” (Jesus speaking to St. Sister Faustina - 1905 to 1938)

This week, the Sanctuary Lamps are burning for:

* Adorers are needed to sit before the Blessed Sacrament and adore Jesus on Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Call the Parish Office at (361) 883.4213
 

O God, Who wish all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of Your truth: send, we beg You, laborers into Your harvest, and grant them grace to speak Your word with all boldness; so that Your word may spread and be glorified, and all nations may know You, the only God, and Him Whom You have sent, Jesus Christ Your Son, Our Lord, Who lives and reigns world without end. Amen.

Below are seven ways to pray for vocations:

1. Pray Before the Eucharist
2. Pray with Mary
3. Pray when You’re Sick
4. Pray with St. Faustina
5. Pray with Catholics worldwide
6. Pray at Dinnertime
7. Pray with Pope Francis

Just as we know one hour a week isn’t enough to live our Catholic Faith, one day a year isn’t enough to pray for vocations. On April 17, renew your daily resolve—or launch a new movement in your parish—to pray year-round for holy priests and religious. (Article from vianneyvocations.com)


God hears our prayer for more priests and religious!

Bishop Michael Mulvey regarding the Presidential Statement from Cardinal DiNardo on immigration: “All human life is to be respected. I join Cardinal Di Nardo in calling for a profound respect for every human life and for families.  The separation of  children and parents is another attack on families. As brothers and sisters in Christ, let us do what we can support immigrant families and all those who seek a more dignified life.”
