St. Mary's - Will continue to have weekly Adoration, Daily Mass, and Confessions through the month of May. The timeline from after Mass in the morning to 9 pm.What does it look like to be an Adoration Guardian?- An Adoration Guardian comes and prays at a set time to ensure the Blessed Sacrament is being watched and venerated properly. Adoration Guardians are in charge of finding their own replacements should they need to be gone. Adoration is covered throughout the day by Guardians taking one-hour shifts to allow others the opportunity to visit Jesus for shorter amounts of time or when their schedule allows. Any questions can be sent to [email protected].
