Devotions

Eucharistic Adoration

Plan to include the Lord in your daily spiritual life by the very concrete and specific way of contemplative prayer, Eucharistic Adoration. Currently we have four days of adoration each week: Tuesday and Thursday, all day; Wednesday evenings; and Fridays. We also have All Night Adoration on the First Friday of the month. Check our Adoration Schedule for times. Through adoration, parishes have seen an increase in vocations, a decrease in crime, answers to prayers, an increase in Mass attendance, and a deepening of faith. Please consider pledging a weekly hour to come to the chapel and pray before Jesus in adoration.

Ultreya

An Ultreya was formed in 1982 at St. John Vianney Church so that all Calvert County Catholic Cursillistas would be able to meet locally on a monthly basis. The word itself, Cursillo, means a short course in Christianity and the Ultreya was formed as a support group where those who have completed the course, called Cursillistas, come together to share:

• their piety (what aids they have used to bring them closer to Christ and their moment closest to Christ),
• their study (what they have done to know Christ better), and
• action (what they have done to bring Christ close into their lives and to bring others closer to Christ).

This local Ultreya enhances the sense of community and spiritual development as an extension of the Cusillo experience.

First Saturday Devotions

On the first Saturday of each month, an 8:00 A.M. Mass is conducted along with the Rosary. Confessions are also heard after Mass at this time.

Rosary

The Rosary is prayed every Monday at 9 A.M. in the Chapel to pray for Mary’s wish: increased devotion to her Son through her prayer, the rosary. Spend an hour in prayer of praise, petition, silence and one Mystery of the Rosary. Coordinator: Linda Vaulina (410) 535-0673

The Knights of Columbus pray the Rosary at 4:30pm prior to the 5:00pm Saturday Mass. 

All are invited to join in prayer.
