In prayer, we will join the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and the nation as we observe the tragic Roe v.

Can God say this about you? Spending time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in the St. Mary s Perpetual Adoration Chapel will certainly please Him! Meditate on the words of Pope Benedict XVI: Happiness is first of all a gift of God that is received by following the unexpected paths of God s will. These ways are demanding, but they are also a source of deep joy. Look at Mary: invited to take a surprising and disconcerting path, her willingness made her enter a joy that all generations will sing. At this time of year many people traditionally re-evaluate their lives and make resolutions for the New Year. Take some time and think of all the reasons why you should spend time with Jesus in the Chapel then resolve to get with the program in You can sign up to be a regular adorer with a designated hour weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, or you can sign up to serve as a substitute to be called when a need arises.
