She is a passionate young lay woman searching for men and women to help share the light of Christ with young adults in Asia through a diverse ministry of evangelization, faith formation, and social justice.

| Praise in the Car. A new practice this season from Ablaze Family Ministries: Long commute to work or quick run to the grocery store? Try dedicating your time in the car to praise! Maybe you only listen to prayerful music or just take the ride in silent prayer. You’re going to be stuck in the car anyway, may as well use this time to rest your heart on God’s heart. | First Friday Devotion. First Fridays begin with the 8:15am Mass at St. Julian Eymard Church, followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Adoration. During First Fridays, we will have a relic of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque available for veneration, and will pray to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We hope you drop by to spend some quiet time with our Lord before the Closing Benediction and Reposition at 11:30am. The next First Friday is this Friday, July 7th. | |

We'd love to hear from you...if you incorporate a Prayer and Devotional resource or idea into your faith life, tell us about it!
Does it deepen your relationship with God? Does it change your outlook? Are you doing something you'd like to share with the Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament faith community?
