Sunday Holy Hour Series
Join us for our monthly Eucharistic Holy Hour, at 4:00 PM on the third Sunday of each month in St. Peter the Apostle Church, with the exception of June when we meet on the fourth Sunday to avoid a conflict with Fathers’ Day. This hour of prayer consists of exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, readings, hymns, silent meditation and concludes with Benediction. The Holy Hour is then followed by a talk. The theme for 2008-09 is Ever Ancient, Ever New: Living the Spirit of the Early Church in the World Today. The full schedule of speakers will be announced soon.
