Join us for our monthly Eucharistic Holy Hour on the third Sunday of each month, with the exception of December, when we meet for Advent Lessons and Carols, and June when we meet on the fourth Sunday to avoid a conflict with Fathers’ Day. Note: In 2023, the June Holy Hour will take place on the third Sunday, June 18.
This hour of prayer consists of exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, readings, hymns, and silent meditation, and concludes with Benediction.Each Holy Hour begins at 3:30 PM, in St. Ann Church, Raritan.
