Friday Holy Hour

September 28, 2022 By admin

Every Friday, our parish holds a Holy Hour of Eucharistic Adoration in the Church. 

This is a devotional tradition of spending an hour in Eucharistic adoration in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration is a sign of devotion to and worship of Jesus Christ, who we believe to be present Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, under the appearance of the consecrated host. As a devotion, Eucharistic adoration and meditation are more than merely looking at the Blessed Host, but are believed to be a continuation of what was celebrated in the Eucharist.

The inspiration for the Holy Hour is Matthew 26:40. In the Gospel of Matthew, during the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his crucifixion, Jesus spoke to his disciples, saying “My soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch with me.” (Matthew 26:38) Returning to the disciples after prayer, he found them asleep and in Matthew 26:40 he asked Peter:

“So, could you men not keep watch with me for an hour?”.

All are welcome to come and spend time with the Lord in prayer. Bring your bible or other devotional prayers if you like.

A priest is available during the Holy Hour to hear confessions.

Adult Catechetical Program 2022

September 26, 2022 By admin

  • Are you or a family member or friend interested in becoming Catholic?
  • Did you or a family member or friend miss receiving the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation or Holy Communion?
  • Are you searching for a greater knowledge and appreciation of your Catholic faith?
  • Are you a returning Catholic who has been away from the church and would like to re-establish your knowledge of the faith?

Then, you should consider attending our adult faith formation classes (also called RCIA which stand for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) which will begin in the Fall!

Our parish offers these weekly classes on the fundamental teachings of the Catholic faith on Sunday’s at 9:30am in the rectory beginning September 25th. These classes are especially designed for non-Catholics who are considering becoming Catholic. But, they are also a wonderful opportunity for adult Catholics who have missed receiving one of the sacraments or who may be returning to the Church after a long absence. These classes are also open to adult Catholics who are looking for a way to enrich their faith.

If you are interested, or you know of someone who is, contact us at rciahcsc@gmail.com or call the rectory office at 202-546-1885. Let us know if you have questions or are not certain how this will work for you. There is no commitment for seeking information. We are available to help you in your journey.
