Forty Hours Devotion at Holy Innocents Church: Volunteers Needed!

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

The annual parish Forty Hours Eucharistic Devotion will take place at Church of the Holy Innocents on October 27-29. Traditionally, the Eucharistic Adoration is not interrupted during this time but should go all night Friday and all night Saturday. To ensure that this devotion is carried out properly, volunteers are needed to cover all the hours of adoration, especially the night/early morning hours.

Before the schedule for the 40 Hours is finalized, those slots during the night need to be covered. If no one signs up to cover the night hours then the adoration will be interrupted Friday night and Saturday night and resume in the morning. Please commit to a specific time of adoration by signing the sign-up sheet located on the bulletin board in the vestibule.

This beautiful devotion is very rare these days, especially in its traditional form. The devotion was permanently established by Pope Clement VIII “in order that day and night the faithful might appease their Lord by prayer before the Blessed Sacrament solemnly exposed, imploring there His divine mercy.”
