We continue with our prayer, fasting, and giving for the Season of Lent. Here are the activities planned for this first full week.
PRAY
Eucharistic Adoration
Thursday, February 26 @ 7:00 am – 3:00 pm
St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church, St. Vincent de Paul Chapel (24)
3864 Flad Ave., Saint Louis, 63110, United States
Every Thursday in the St. Vincent de Paul Chapel (enter through the doors off 39th St.)
Come sit for quiet prayer in front of our Lord – whether you have 10 minutes or an hour. Praying in front of the Eucharist is a long tradition in our faith, and allows us a physical closeness with Christ that we do not often have the opportunity for. You do not need to have received First Communion (or even be baptized) to pray in this way.
If you would like to attend Adoration but feel nervous because you have never gone before, reach out to Ruth Pera! She is happy to accompany you and answer questions about this special form of prayer.
Anointing of the Sick Mass
Saturday, February 28 @ 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm
St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church, Sanctuary (700)
3864 Flad Ave., Saint Louis, 63110, United States
The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick will be celebrated at the 4:30pm Mass on Saturday, February 28. All who are ill are invited and welcome to attend this special Mass.
Coming Up…
Lenten Compline
Sunday, March 1 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

3864 Flad Ave., Saint Louis, 63110, United States
