EUCHARISTIC ADORATION FOR THE SYNOD ON THE FAMILY
Starting tomorrow morning after 8 AM Mass, St. Patrick Parishioners will be welcome to take part in a Worldwide Eucharistic Adoration novena. This will be a one-hour adoration for the intentions of the Pope, the synod fathers and the Church
after 8AM Mass (9-10AM), and on the following dates at St. Patrick Church.

The novena is to take place on the first Thursday of each month, for nine consecutive months, beginning on Feb. 5. It will conclude on Oct. 1, the feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, three days before the opening of the synod on the family.

The complete list of dates of the Eucharistic Adoration novena are as follows:

• Thursday, February 5 (St. Agatha)
• Thursday, March 5 (II Thursday of Lent)
• Thursday, April 2 (Holy Thursday)*

• Thursday, July 2 (XIII Thursday in Ordinary Time)
• Thursday, August 6 (Transfiguration)
• Thursday, September 3 (Pope St. Gregory the Great)

* Note that as this date falls on Holy Thursday, the faithful are asked simply to follow the normal liturgical rites of the Church for that day, which include adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at the altar of repose following the Mass of the Lord’s Supper.
