We have four teams: Pastor, Parochial Vicar, Emeritus, and Bishop; and each member commits to an hour of prayer on a particular day, preferably in front of the Blessed Sacrament. The specific time and location don’t matter, just an hour of prayer on the committed day. Check out the website: sevensistersapostolate.org. Please contact Jeanne Pearson, 717-514-1374 or jeannepearson24@gmail.com.
