Adoration to be held Thursdays during Lent

Looking for some stillness in the chaos of daily life? University Ministry has scheduled Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament each Thursday during Lent. It will take place from 4:30-5:30 p.m. in Constantineau Chapel on Feb. 23, March 2, 9, 23 and 30.

Adoration is a time for personal prayer, reflection and communion with the Lord present in the Holy Eucharist. All are welcome.

If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact University Ministry at ministry@ollusa.edu.
