Mercy Night

Drop by the church on Friday, October 24th, from 8:00pm to 11:00pm for another beautiful candlelit evening of prayer and adoration. Priests will be there to hear confessions, and teams will be available for prayer ministry. Originating from the Emmanuel Community in Europe, Mercy Night offers an extraordinary setting in which to let your heart rest in God's beauty and goodness. Come anytime, and stay for as little or as long as you like. And please bring friends - everyone is welcome.

Janelle, a Blessed Sacrament Young Adult, who is also in charge of Mercy Night writes, "
Mercy Night consists of approximately three hours of good old-fashioned Eucharistic adoration, during which much else is happening. The lights are low, there are candles everywhere, and there is beautiful, contemplative music being sung throughout the evening, mostly in the style of contemporary praise & worship. There are readings from scripture, and some spontaneous prayer, and a couple people even get up to give testimonies. In addition, a major aspect of the evening is having confession available. I have been to confession at one of these, and let me tell you, it's a powerful thing to have Jesus right there in front of you while you are confessing. Mercy becomes very real in a moment like that."

Please join us for an amazing evening of mercy.
