OLGC ADORATION CHAPEL The Adorers of the Blessed Sacrament is a prayer group who schedule silent personal time with Jesus in the Eucharistic Adoration Chapel. Adoration hours at Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Many parishioners have signed up to pray one hour a week – a weekly
hour of solitude and peace in our often hectic lives. We need permanent committed adorers all the time. Our goal is to have at least two people on each hour.
Are you the one? While everyone interested in praying is welcome to enter the Chapel, we NEED volunteers to commit themselves to specific time periods so that someone will be in the Chapel while it is available to all parishioners. Come adore Jesus truly present in the Holy Eucharist.
To sign up, please call Sabina at 604.584.5817 or contact the Parish Office.
