Adorers Needed at St. Elizabeth North Chapel – We are still in need of Adorers for Perpetual Adoration at St. Elizabeth North Chapel. I am hopeful that you will prayerfully consider donating one hour of your time each week so that all hours will be covered. God will richly bless you for spending this time with Him – especially during the upcoming Lenten Season. Safety provisions including parking at the entrance of the building and escort to the chapel by security guard are available. (Note, consider volunteering at St. Elizabeth Chapel only if you are unable to attend the Adoration at your own parish or if you want to do more than one hour of Adoration.) Please call Janice Kennedy at 513-207-8422 if you are interested.
