40 HOURS IS COMING TO LOGAN COUNTY
"A Holy Hour before the Most Blessed Sacrament so pleases the Heart of Jesus, that every man, woman and child on earth receives a new effect from God's goodness and love, all because of a single hour of adoration in His Presence." - St. Faustina
The National Eucharistic Revival, an incredibly important initiative for our country, began in June of 2022, with a year of focus at the diocesan level. The parish year of revival begins on Corpus Christi, and lasts until the summer of 2024.
It would be impossible to estimate how much the world is in need of a deeper, more fervent love of the Blessed Sacrament. It would be impossible to estimate how much we are in need of a deeper, more fervent love of the Blessed Sacrament. May the revival start here.
We will need at least 80 people to sign up for one hour of Eucharistic Adoration, from 4:00 PM on June 9 through 10:00 AM on June 11 (with breaks for Mass). Adoration will be held at St. Pat's, but we need parishioners from both parishes in order for this to be successful.
To sign up, visit 40 Hours Sign Up. If you have difficulty, please call the parish.
