PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC
ADORATION
SUBSTITUTES NEEDED
While we have many dedicated
Guardians of the Eucharist there is
always a need for substitutes in the event that
someone becomes ill or goes on vacation. The
greatest need is for coverage for the hours from
midnight to 6AM, although there is still a need during
the day and evening also. As a substitute you would
be called occasionally, as the need arises.
If you are interested in becoming a substitute
please call the rectory at 343-6013 to leave your
name and phone number and specify when you are
available. We would be most grateful for your help.
You may wish to be a Guardian of any hour of
your choosing.
