SMALL CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES
Small Christian Communities are groups that gather
regularly to share their faith, help each other in
their Christian way through daily life, relate Scripture
to the world around them, and reach out in service
to others. At meetings they share the next Sunday's
Scripture readings and relate these to their present-day
lives. If interested in joining a Small Christian
Community please call Teri Lauwers at 303-279-4794.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
St. Joseph Catholic Parish has Eucharistic Adoration every first Friday from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, followed by the 5:15 pm Mass. There must always be someone present with the Lord during adoration periods, and here at St. Joseph Catholic Parish we ask that there are at least two people in case one may need to leave for some reason. Archbishop Chaput requires that each parish seek permission for adoration periods to be sure there are no abuses to the Eucharist exposed, such as leaving the Blessed Sacrament exposed while no one is present. It is desirable that anyone who spends time with Jesus in the Eucharist would end that devotion by attending Mass that same day and receiving Jesus in Communion. |

YOUNG ADULT EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
On Thursday evenings, all young people 15-35 years of age are invited to join the church from 7-9 pm for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Prayers and songs are part of the prayer evening, which are taken from the Spirit and Truth organization of young people gathering for Adoration throughout the world. The mission of Spirit and Truth is to bring young adults into relationship with Christ though worship of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, study of Church teachings and Sacred Scripture and celebrations of Catholic traditions, while forming a community of life-giving relationships. You do not need to commit to every week but rather can come on a "drop-in" basis. All are invited to attend, even if you do not find yourself in this age gorup, but the Prayer will be led by our young Mines' students.
