Reminders
Sign Up for New Friday Adoration Hours!
Come adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament at Peter the Rock Chapel! Starting in Lent, there will be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament every Friday from 9am to 3pm—
but only if we have enough adorers signed up to ensure every hour is covered. The night before his Passion, Jesus asked his disciples for one thing: to spend an hour in his company (see Matt 26:40). As you prepare your heart for Lent, please consider making a regular commitment to spend an hour in the Lord's company. It will change your life, and it will help us expand the available hours of adoration! Sign up at
adorationpro.org/peterco (click on Weekly Commitment to see available hours). For questions, contact Tara Stone at
fidesetspes@gmail.com or 719-650-4485 (text message preferred; leave a voicemail if you call).
Hallow - Pray with us!
Parishioners who are new to Hallow can take advantage of a six-month trial for $1. Sign up
