40 HOURS DEVOTION
“This is my Body, which will be given up for you.”
Thursday–Saturday
March 12–14, 2026
Please join us for 40 Hours Devotion, beginning on March 12 at 4:00 pm—a special time of prayer and silence in the presence of Our Lord exposed in the Blessed Sacrament for forty continuous hours, offering each of us an opportunity to step away from the busyness of daily life and rest in His presence. May this sacred time of silence renew our hearts and strengthen our unity as we remain with the Lord, united in solidarity with the sacrificial offering of His Passion.
