Beginning with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the Divine Mercy Chaplet prayed, concluding with Benediction
(This devotion will be about 1⁄2 hour.)
It is said that many blessings come from spending time with our Lord. Here at St. Francis parishioners now have the opportunity to do just that in the evening! Starting June 10th, every Wednesday evening (excluding the first Wednesday of each month) from 5-7pm the church will be open for Adoration. This gives you an opportunity to be able to come and visit Jesus on a more personal level. It is a time for quiet prayer and reflection. Just making that visit with Jesus can bring amazing growth within the spiritual life of the person and from that comes spiritual strength within the parish.
Whether you only spend ten minutes or an hour, each moment is a great treasure. To learn more about what Eucharistic Adoration is all about visit
Stop by the Bistro patio outside of Fr. Greenan Center for pizza with Fr. Ranallo. Traditional pizza, Detroit deep dish pizza and wood fired pizza will be served. All are welcome!
