Did you know…

 …that here in our parish we have a Eucharistic Holy Hour EVERY THURSDAY AT 8PM? Yes every Thursday of the year-except Holy Thursday and Thursday of Thanksgiving- we expose the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance for adoration. Our Eucharistic Holy Hour is a tradition based on the apparitions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary, and is a space of time to ponder the mysteries of the Lord, the moments when He felt weak and just like us, and requests the father apart the cup. Our Eucharistic Holy Hour is a period to accompany the Lord, as the Angel of the Garden. It's an hour to dump in the Sacred Heart of Jesus all our toils and sufferings, our problems and projects, an hour to receive His grace to overcome our problems with a Christian attitude. It is also a time to thank His sacrifice and learn from Him. In this great Year of Faith that we just started, our Eucharistic Holy Hour is a practical and beautiful way of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Most parishes around the world celebrate this holy hour on Thursday evening, to show the love of Christ love and repair Eucharist attitudes of indifference and lack of respect he receives. Here at St. Vincent de Paul we do the same, and we want to invite you along with your family that you'll join us. We begin every Thursday at the end of Mass 7PM (ie just before 8PM), there is a moment of silence, another moment of preaching and worship and another for personal conversation with Him. Almost always time to go to the Sacrament of Confession. Eucharistic Holy Hour ends with the blessing around 9PM. Come with us to spend some time with Jesus ■ Fr. Agustin, pastor.
