PRAY

Let us Pray

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” — 1 Thes. 5:16-18

Prayer is the lifeline of the Christian. Jesus makes it very clear in the gospel of John, "I am the Vine and you are the branches. Apart from me, you can do nothing." Prayer looks different for everyone but in it's most simple expression, it is the lifting of one's heart and mind to God, both to listen and to speak. For Catholics, we view the Holy Mass as a prayer, we focus on the life of Jesus through the praying of the Rosary, we use Novenas and Chaplets to help us focus our attention on specific prayer requests. We pray directly to Jesus Christ and we lean on the powerful intercession of the Communion of Saints.

Eucharistic Adoration

One of the most distinctive marks of the Catholic faith is the Sacrament of the Eucharist. The teaching that Jesus offers himself to us in Holy Communion (his very body and blood, soul and divinity) in the disguise and humble state of bread and wine. Adoration is the practice of spending time with Jesus in prayer, usually in a quiet and peaceful adoration chapel.

Eucharistic Adoration Information

Our Lord is always present in the Tabernacle. When the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, He is always accompanied by 2 or more adorers and He invites you to come spend time in Adoration with Him.

Currently, our exposition times are the following:

Monday 10am-8pm in the Chapel
Tuesday 5am-10pm in the Chapel
Wednesday 6am-10pm in the Chapel
Thursday 4am-10pm in the Chapel

Registered OLV parishioners have access to the Adoration Chapel 24/7. Be sure to come by the office to obtain a prox card.

If you are ready to commit to a holy hour, click here to see what slots are still needing an adorer. We need two adorers committed for each hour to have the Blessed Sacrament exposed.

Prayer Ministry Resources

Most of us need some type of healing: either physical, emotional, spiritual, or relational (or we know someone who does). Jesus is the Healer. Come to the healing service for yourself or to pray for someone else. We have seen many healings over the years and God continues to pour out His Goodness upon us.

Inner Healing Ministry

Jesus said, "First clean the inside of the cup and the outside will become clean." He is instructing us that true, lasting healing begins on the inside of a person's soul and spirit. We offer ministries that educate and equip you to address patterns of spiritual bondage, brokenness, and addiction. Don't wait. Jesus is calling all believers to a deep and lasting healing that comes from the Holy Spirit.

Inner Healing Ministry

Do you have patterns in your life that you seem unable to break?

Are you having trouble truly forgiving those who have hurt you?

Do you feel that experiences from the past are still effecting you?

Is there a habit, sin, or spiritual bondage that keeps you from the full enjoyment and happiness which comes from God?

Do you feel like something is “missing” in your spiritual life or that you are not as connected to God or others as you would like?

Bible Reading Plan

For many Catholics, the Bible can be an intimidating book. It's big and doesn't seem to be easy to understand at first glance. But God's inspired Word doesn't need to remain a mystery. God wants you to know and understand the love story told in the Scriptures and when read with faith, the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to see and hear what God is speaking to you. Below are some helpful programs to connect you to the Word of God.
