WHY PARTICIPATE IN FIRST FRIDAY ADORATION?
Looking to escape the distractions of daily life and spend some quiet time with the Lord? Then join us the first Friday of every month as we adore Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
WHAT IS FIRST FRIDAY ADORATION?
First Friday Adoration, a St. Ann's tradition, is a Eucharistic adoration held the first Friday of every month in the church. It begins with 8:00 AM Mass (9:00 AM Mass during the school year) and is followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for the remainder of the day. Adoration concludes with evening prayer and benediction at 6:30 PM, followed by Mass at 7:00 PM.
WHAT FIRST FRIDAY ADORATION PARTICIPANTS DO:
- Come any time during the adoration hours (approximately 8:30/9:30 AM to 6:30 PM) to spend some quiet, prayerful time with Jesus.
- Some regular adoration participants commit to specific time slots every First Friday. These "Guardians of the Eucharist" ensure that the Blessed Sacrament is never left alone.
