- Eucharistic Adoration
* Join us Tuesday 7:00pm for Eucharistic Adoration in the
Chapel.
* Wednesday Eucharistic Adoration- Chapel 7-8:30- So never know what to
do during silent adoration? After 10 minutes do you just have nothing
else to pray? Do you really want to spend more time in front of the
Blessed Sacrament? This Wednesday, Eucharistic adoration will be
accompanied by praise and worship music. So come by and sing your heart
out while praising Jesus who will most certainly be there. Contact
joel_f at mit.edu or aposada at mit.edu if you have questions.
