Altar and Rosary Holy Hour
Altar and Rosary has a Eucharistic Adoration Hour on Monday mornings from 3:00-4:00am. Some of the women that have been faithfully covering this hour are no longer able to do so.
The hour has been divided so that different women cover different weeks of the month. If you have never experienced spending an hour with Jesus in the quiet of the night, this is an excellent opportunity, without a weekly commitment - it is only 12 times a year! We are in urgent need for women to cover the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month. If interested, please contact Mary Kotchevar at 612.926.8324 or email kotc0006@umn.edu.
All you Holy Saints, pray for us!
