HSCP Holy Hour

Holy Hour for Evangelization Please join with fellow parishioners for a Holy Hour on Tuesday, May 28th at 6:30 pm in the Chapel.  During this Holy Hour, we will be praying: 

  • for parishioners to enter more deeply into the life of Christ so as to radiate him more fully to others
  • for those who have fallen away from the practice of their faith
  • for those who do not yet know the love of Christ
  • for those who do not believe in God or who are indifferent to faith.

This is a great first step in answering Jesus’ call to “go make disciples” and to actively participate in the New Evangelization. St. John Paul II emphasized the universal call to holiness and called Catholics to engage in the New Evangelization during the 1980s. Pope Benedict Emeritus, and Pope Francis have both encouraged us to participate beginning with prayer. Your presence will be appreciated. HSCP Prayer Group

Pope Francis on Evangelization

“From the perpetuation of the sacrifice of the Cross and her communion with the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist, the Church draws the spiritual power needed to carry out her mission. The Eucharist thus appears as both the source and the summit of all evangelization, since its goal is the communion of mankind with Christ and in him with the Father and the Holy Spirit.” Pope Saint John Paul II
