FORTY HOURS’ DEVOTION
Sunday, March 9–Tuesday, March 11, 2025 in the Chapel.
Eucharistic Adoration will begin following 12 Noon Mass on March 9.
Benediction ends the Forty Hours, prior to 8 AM Mass on March 11.

The Forty Hours’ Devotion is a kind of “retreat experience” for the entire parish.  It is an opportunity to unplug.  We gather both individually and as a community before the Blessed Sacrament, to pray before the Lord, to deepen our appreciation of the importance of Him, and to recognize His presence in our daily lives.

The number 40 calls to mind the rain during the time of Noah which lasted 40 days and 40 nights; Moses and the Jewish people in the desert for 40 years; and Our Lord’s 40 days of fasting and prayer before beginning His public ministry.

The Forty Hours’ Devotion also recalls that traditional 40-hour period from Our Lord’s burial until the Resurrection.

Signup sheets will be in the Narthex beginning February 15-16 before/after weekend Masses.
