40 Hours Devotion

What is the Forty Hours Devotion?

It is for the parish a solemn period of prayer and adoration before the exposed Blessed Sacrament for the duration of forty consecutive hours. By tradition, it begins with a celebration of Mass. At the end of this opening Mass the Blessed Sacrament is exposed and over a period of a few days the faithful are given the opportunity to assemble in prayer and adoration before the exposed Blessed Sacrament. The form of prayer to be prayed during this time can be done in diverse ways. The celebration then ends with a closing celebration of Mass, a Eucharistic Procession (weather permitting), and Benediction.

This year, we will be hosting this devotion from Thursday February 26 - Saturday February 28. More details to come!
