First Friday 24-Hour Adoration Change

It is very difficult to staff 24 hours of Adoration each month, especially during the early morning hours. We want to make sure that both the people who attend and Jesus on the Altar are safe. We did have an incident last month and are not sure that it was safe.

The Adoration group, along with the Staff, have decided to change the Adoration hours. So beginning next month, Friday, August 3, First Friday Adoration will begin at 9 am Friday and continue until 9pm Friday. First Friday will then end with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration will not continue through late night Friday and early morning Saturday. All adorers currently volunteering for the late night Friday and early morning Saturday hours are encouraged to volunteer during the 9am-9pm hours on First Friday.

Please call the Office (714-536-6913, x-112) to volunteer for a new hour. Thank you to all who have supported and continue  to support this most important St. Mary’s by the  Sea program.
