Holy Hours for Peace | Flyer

When:
Mondays in Lent, 7:00 PM
Where: In the Church
Details: Whether your current state of life brings about mild inconveniences or is filled with many overwhelming stressors, peace is possible! The world can offer temporary respite, but our Lord promises a lasting peace that “the world cannot give.”

Don’t let the Enemy steal your joy any longer!

Join us for the six Mondays of Lent, beginning on February 19, 2024 as we come together as a community to hand over areas of burden to our Lord and learn to turn to Him as a source of everlasting Peace.

THESE “HOLY HOURS FOR PEACE” BEGIN AT 7:00 PM
AND WILL INCLUDE PRAYER, REFLECTIONS, MUSIC, AND EUCHARISTIC ADORATION.
All are welcome, especially those (or loved ones of those) working through various types of struggles and stressors. Though some of our prayers will come out of a Catholic context, you don’t have to be a Catholic or even Christian. Those of any faith or no faith are most welcome.

Come and find comfort and community for you or your loved ones. Pass along the invitation.
