Parish Holy Hour for Peace
Bishop Burbidge, in union with all the bishops in our country, has asked every parish to implore God’s assistance in healing divisions in our nation by making a Holy Hour for Peace in the days to come, to pray for peace, justice, and reconciliation in our nation. Please read his statement here: https://www.arlingtondiocese.org/2026/01/30/bishop-michael-f-burbidge-invites-all-to-consider-a-holy-hour-for-peace/
Our parish will observe a prayerful Holy Hour for Peace during adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament in the church this Wednesday, February 4, from 7:00-8:00 P.M. The holy hour will follow with a meditation by our pastor, Fr. Don Planty, on the Church’s teaching on justice and peace from 8:00-8:30 P.M. I encourage all of you to attend as we join together as a parish to pray for those important intentions.
