24 Hours For The Lord

Devotion, care, fondness, deep love and respect are all definitions of adoration. Eucharistic adoration is quite simply taking time to deeply honor the Eucharistic presence of Christ. Members of the Catholic community are invited to join parishioners at St. Malachy Parish in Burlington as we open ourselves to Him and His graces through a special 24-hour adoration opportunity on March 24 and 25.

24 Hours for the Lord, a community event of prayer, reconciliation and adoration will begin with a 4 p.m. mass on Friday, March 24th and will conclude with a 4 pm mass on Saturday, March 25th.

Throughout the experience, parishioners will be reading the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in their entirety. In addition to opportunities for adoration and reflection there will be moments for reflection and community building. Light refreshments will be offered.

Pop Francis has invited the entire world-wide Church to participate in the 24 Hours for the Lord Experience. The Archdiocese had responded to Pope Francis’ request and St. Malachy’s is one of 9 host locations providing the “24 Hours for the Lord” program, at the invitation of the Cardinal’s office. Saint Malachy Church, located at 99 Bedford St. was selected to host this most holy event locally, and Catholics from throughout the region are encouraged to participate. Come for a brief amount of time or extend your visit for a great length. Arrive whenever your schedule permits: 5 pm, 3 am, whenever!

Throughout the Lenten season, Saint Malachy welcomes you to join us for Stations of the Cross on Friday evenings at 7:00 p.m., and reconciliation on Wednesday nights, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. To learn more about St. Malachy Parish and 24 Hours For The Lord, visit the Church website at www.saint-malachy.org or contact the Church office at 781-272-5111
