JAMES THE APOSTLE On First Fridays we are blessed with Adoration from 8:30am until 6:00pm. This is a great gift and won- derful opportunity to be with Jesus. He is present: Body, Blood, Soul & Divinity! We can take time to praise Him, to give Him thanks for all the blessings in our lives and enjoy the quiet time. We also must thank Him for the trials that bring us to our knees as we learn to depend on Him and His will for us even more. Take a moment to look at Jesus within the little white host in the monstrance and allow Him to shower you with His love and light. Spending time in the Presence of Jesus helps free us from fears. Adoration builds a stronger relationship between us and Jesus. The relationship becomes more intimate and increases as we give our all to Him. We are asking for more individuals to Come and Adore! There are openings every hour from 8:30 until closing and the afternoon hours are very much in need of your presence. Please call or email us for this very special monthly devotion to Jesus.
