Holy Hour for Life

Encounter the One who came so we might have Life
Join us for a time of prayer with Our Lord in adoration, repentance, thanksgiving, and supplication as we observe Respect Life Month.

Exposition is at 5:30pm, followed by roughly 90-minutes divided into periods of communal prayer, proclamation of the Word of God, preaching, and private prayer. Benediction will be offered around 7:00pm. In the power of Jesus’ Eucharistic Presence, we will pray in defense of every human person at every stage of life, pray for those whose dignity has been violated, and for the transformation of every culture on earth into a culture of life. Confession will also be available during a portion of our time of prayer.

This Encounter with Jesus will be offered at:

• St. Joseph on Wednesday, October 16th
• Our Lady of Good Help on Wednesday, October 23rd

All are welcome to join at both gatherings for the fullness of the time of prayer or for the portion that your schedule permits.

Parish Ministries

Parish Ministries are an important and necessary part of Liturgy. Ministers must be registered in their parishes and must have received all of the sacraments necessary to be in good standing with the church. What talents has God blessed you with? Here are some opportunities for you to share those with your parish family.

Sacristan: Prepare for Mass. Arrive 1 hour prior to mass to unlock, turn on the lights, and prepare the altar. Spend approximately 15 minutes following mass to put things away, turn things off, and be sure things are secure.

Reader: Arrive 20 minutes prior to mass, having reviewed and practiced the Sunday readings and announcements.

Eucharistic Minister: Arrive 15 minutes prior to mass, prayerfully prepared to assist in the distribution of communion.

Usher: Arrive 30 minutes before mass. Greet and welcome those coming in. Seat them, as needed. Take up the collection.

The music ministry is another opportunity. Instruments, especially piano and organ, are in high demand.

If you are a photographer and would like to be involved in the special events and reception of sacraments, there is a place for you.

Each ministry has its own particular training and schedule. There are many other ministries, outside of mass, that may be where your talent lies. Please call the regional office (360-532-8300) for more information regarding your interest and how you can serve.

Eucharistic Adoraton

"The Church and the world have a great need of eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease." (St. John Paul II)

“One thing is certain, that next to Holy Communion no act of worship is so pleasing to God, and none is so useful, as the daily visit to our Lord Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament dwelling upon our altars. Know that in one-quarter of an hour which you spend before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament you attain more than in all the good works of the rest of the day.” (St. Alphonsus Liguori)
