One of the hopes of Blessed John Paul II was for Adoration of the Eucharist outside of the Mass. The Pope spoke of the Eucharist as the “Presence Sacrament” – Christ on Earth.
Christ wants to perform miracles of His grace, especially miracles of conversion in what is becoming a Christ-less age. Our deep faith in Christ’s living presence among us in the Blessed Sacrament becomes a channel of God’s grace into the world. It is hoped that all people of faith discover time to adore and love Jesus the Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
As St. Alphonsus Liguori once noted, “Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest after the sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most helpful to us.”
At St. Frances Cabrini Parish, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed each Friday from 9:00AM until 10:00AM. We encourage you to come and spend time with Our Lord, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.
The Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office, is the daily prayer of the Church. These prayers are assigned to specific hours and thereby help sanctify the day. The Hours are a meditative conversation on the mystery of Christ, composed of both scripture and prayer.
The rosary is prayed Monday thru Friday at 7:50AM.
Novena prayers are recited on Tuesdays at 9:00AM and at 7:00PM (after the 6:30PM Mass).
The Miraculous Medal of Our Lady of Grace was created at the urging of the Daughter of Charity novice Catherine Laboure (b. 5/2/1806 - d. 12/31/1876), in response to a request from the Blessed Virgin Mary who appeared to St. Catherine at Rue du Bac, Paris in 1830.
The message on the medal’s edge states: "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee".
The purpose of the medal is to draw people closer to Jesus, in cooperation with His gifts of grace, through devotion to Mary.
On the third Wednesday of each month, parishioners devoted to Our Lady of Mount Carmel gather after the 8:30AM Mass to recite the rosary.
