ADORATION General Announcements Come to Adoration as did St. Catherine of Siena - Doctor of the Church St. Catherine os Siena was a lay woman, and third order Dominican, who lived at a time when there was great corruption, division, and schism within the church. Catherine spent her life prayin and working to help bring about the true renewal and restoration of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church that she loved so much. Where did Catherine receive the grace, strength, wisdom and knowledge to have such an important and profound effect on the entire church? From Jesus Himself in the Blessed Sacrament, in daily Mass, Communion and Adoration. He gave her all of the strength adnd courage she needed to work tirelessly in bringing about the restoration of our church. As we adore our Lord in Adoration, we too will receive the grace and strength of God, if we but ask for it. To restore our lives, commit to an hour of Adoration. Call Ruthann @ 756-8551.
