Holy Hour for Blasphemy & Overnight Adoration
Bishop Hying asked over social media that Catholics offer prayer and fasting in reparation for blasphemy against the Lord in the Eucharist given the mockery of the Eucharist and Last Supper at the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Olympics. This Wednesday, July 31 we’re hosting a holy hour for this intention beginning at 7pm, IHM Church. This will go into overnight adoration at IHM, starting at 8pm to Thursday morning, 8am. Sign up here to spend an hour with our Lord.
