Special Event - 40 hours
In anticipation of the feast day celebration of our patron, Saint Clare of Assisi, we will celebrate a 40 hours devotion.
During the celebration of this ancient devotion, the Eucharist is exposed in a monstrance for a timeframe spanning 40 total hours. The number of hours is significant because it is believed to be the total time Christ’s body spent resting in the tomb before rising. Inspired by the fervent love Saint Clare held for the Eucharist, we look to honor and emulate her example by celebrating this wonderful period of Eucharistic Adoration during the four days prior to her feast day on August 11th. |
You can sign up to keep vigil with our Lord during one of the hours HERE (you can also sign up for an hour in the Clare app!) In addition to silent prayer, the schedule includes several special hours that feature spoken and sung devotions which you can view below.
40 hours adoration will take place in the CHAPEL, rather than the main church. The entrance to the chapel is found in the small breezeway on the rear side of the church, or you can pass through the main body of the church and exit past the statue of Mary to access it another way.
