Parents: Earn Service Hours During Adoration
Adoration is a prayerful time to come and spend with the Blessed Eucharist. It is not a formal or structured time, but a time for individuals to come to pray, read, journal, or sit in silence with The Lord.
For the 2024 - 2025 school year, BMCHS will hold Adoration every Thursday from 8 am - 2 pm. We are looking for parent volunteers to commit to one-hour time slots for the year. Parents who volunteer will get one service hour per week.
If you are interested, please select the time slots you would be available. Hopefully, there will be at least two people per hour, so there will still be another person present if you are unavailable for one week. There will be students, teachers, and religion classes in and out throughout the day; however, the Blessed Eucharist may NOT be left alone, so please be dedicated to your time.
If you are unavailable to commit every week but just want to come and stop by for a short time, you are more than welcome! All are always welcome!
