Eucharistic Adoration is now being held on the First Friday of each month (excluding July/August) at Saint James Church (beginning today) from 1:00pm – 8:00pm. Eucharistic Adoration is our acknowledgement that Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Each hour you spend with Jesus will deepen His Divine Peace in your heart. If you would like to sign up (at least 2 adorers required each hour), call Nancy Ecabert, 860-646-4325. You are not committed to the same hour each month, and you can sign up for a different hour each month or even 25 or 30 minutes.
