Eucharistic Adoration & Exposition
St. Mary’s by the Sea opens the Church for Eucharistic Adoration every Monday through Friday from 1:00 to 4:30 pm. On Thursdays, the Divine Mercy Chaplet will be recited at 3:00pm and we will have Eucharistic Exposition (where the Blessed Sacrament is displayed outside the tabernacle in the monstrance for adoration by the faithful) from 3:00 to 7:30 pm, closing with Benediction (praying the rosary and receiving a blessing with the Host) at 7:30 pm.
Relit – A New Parish Series
Since Jesus established the Church over 2,000 years ago, the Faith has spread throughout the world. Currently, there are 76 million Catholics in the U.S., but less than 24% of them attend Mass regularly. The New Evangelization can be simply defined in 5 words: the re-evangelization of the baptized. This program is an opportunity to recharge and ignite our love of God and the Church.
Led by Michael Dopp, STL, this training program is an exciting and integrated set of 18 sessions, which help form the participants theologically, spiritually, and practically so that we as a parish, and you as individuals, may more fully live out our fundamental mission of the Church.
The first session is in the evening on Thursday, January 24 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. For those who desire the day sessions, we also have Saturday, January 26, from 9:00-10:30 a.m.
By receiving this formation, you will be renewed in your personal call as a Catholic.
Complete a registration form and return to the office.
If you’ve ever questioned yourself on how you could share the Catholic faith, then please plan to attend this exciting program.
The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring an event with the proceeds to help children with special needs attend camp. Please help us and show this flyer at Panera Bread on Saturday, January 12th from 4 pm to 8 pm.

Sunday, October 7th, is RESPECT LIFE SUNDAY.
St. Mother Teresa once said, “What will convert America and save the world? My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in Holy Hours of prayer.”
On October 5th, our monthly 12-Hour First Friday Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will occur in Father Johnson Hall. As usual, it will begin after the 8am Mass and end at 9pm with a rosary and benediction. Take Mother Teresa’ advice, and work to change America into a pro-life country!
