Opportunities

for Prayer

"We must pray without ceasing...
in every occurrence and employment of our lives - that
prayer which is rather a habit of lifting up the heart to
God as in a constant communication with Him.” .

- Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

Wednesdays from 8am - 6pm in the Daily Chapel. Eucharistic Adoration is visiting and spending time in quiet prayer with Jesus present in the Eucharist. It is an expression of our love for Jesus, who loves us so much that He never wants to leave us and stays with us in the Blessed Sacrament. You can drop in at any time or sign up each week as a Guardian for an hour (www.olachurch.org/adoration).

For information, please email Betsie Greiff at adoration@olachurch.org

Elijah Cup Vocations Ministry

Every other weekend at one of the Masses, a different family takes the Elijah Cup home to pray for vocations to the religious life and priesthood - especially to the Society of Mary (Marists), the religious society that serves our parish.
