At the request of our regular "adorers," the three hours of Eucharistic Adoration from noon to 3 p.m. on Fridays have been moved to Tuesdays, along with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, going forward. Please note that everyone is encouraged to drop in anytime during Eucharistic Adoration, even if just for a few minutes, for some quiet time with Jesus.

Our parishes have purchased a subscription to FORMED, which is sort of a "Catholic Netflix." Our subscription allows all of our parishioners, at both parishes, access to a large number of video-based study programs on Scripture and other Catholic topics, entertaining movies, informative and entertaining talks like those in our old Lighthouse CD racks in our churches, and also a large library of eBooks. All of this content can be accessed via a web browser on your computer, or via an app on your iPad, iPhone, or Android device. To get access, all you need to do is visit http://holyrosarystanley.formed.org, enter your e-mail address, create a password, and you’re set. You can also get access by installing the “FORMED” app from the app store on your device.

After last weekend's homily on this topic (and others), I wanted to list a few resources that may be helpful to individuals who want to better understand this issue from a Catholic perspective and how to approach it with compassion and truth.

Starting in June, Mass on Wednesdays in Stanley will be at 7:15 a.m. Eucharistic Adoration on Wednesdays and Thursdays will also move up 15 minutes, starting at 6:15 a.m.
