Come and Adore!
Adoration continues in the chapel everyFridaywith Exposition at8:00 a.m.and Benediction at5:00 p.m. If you can makea weekly half-hour or hour-long commitment to spend time with Jesus, please email, text or call Donella Anderson
(r 309-255-7717).
If you can't make a weekly commitment at this time, stop inwhen you can...and leave transformed, because"you never come to Christ and go back the same way you came." (Fulton J. Sheen)
Do you realize that Jesus is there in the tabernacle expressly for you – for you alone?
He burns with the desire to come into your heart…
Go without fear to receive the Jesus of peace and love.
