Praise to the Holy Spirit for several adorers who answered the call for the hours of 1-4 a.m.!! A few more individuals are still needed to fully reactivate Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration prior to our 10th Anniversary in November (not March as erroneously reported in the last announcement). If the Holy Spirit is calling you to offer this gift of your time, please contact Lorie Vincent, Nighttime Division Leader, at 337-654-2871. If another time is best for you, stop by the table in the Narthex after Mass today to see where you are needed as a second adorer.
