Holy Hour – Consecration to the Holy Family

In preparation to the Consecration to the Holy Family Mass at 5 pm on Saturday, November 23, 2019 we will be holding a Holy Hour beginning at 3:45 pm. Holy Hour is a chance to adore the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist and pray to the Lord while in His actual presence in the Eucharist in silent reverence. Holy Hour a long standing Roman Catholic devotional tradition where you spend an hour in Eucharistic adoration in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. A plenary indulgence is granted for this practice.

We ask all participants to pray for the success of the Consecration to the Holy Family Mass that will follow Holy Hour at 5 pm. This is a wonderful way for families to spend additional time together in prayer and to prepare themselves for the mass.

All are welcome to attend whether you plan on attending the 5 pm mass or not. Those who are attending the 5 pm Mass and taking part in the Consecration to the Holy Family are encouraged to attend.

During Holy Hour the Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered so that those planning in taking part in the Consecration to the Holy Family can (as suggested in the preparatory guide)  be forgiven of their sins and attend the Consecration in a state of grace. If you need a refresher on how the Sacrament of Reconciliation works please read our Confession 101 Refresher Guide that can be found here.

Thank you in advance for your attendance, prayers, and support– we appreciate it!
