When we planned this gathering, our vision was to create a memorable event for the whole family, one that welcomes newcomers to experience the warmth of our spiritual family. We wanted to cultivate an atmosphere that prepares us for a profound encounter with Jesus.
Picture tiki torches lighting the way up the driveway and along the porch, leading everyone to an inviting outdoor tent where adoration will take place. As the sun sets and twilight envelops us, we illuminate the altar, transforming the Monstrance into a beacon of hope and love.
For the first hour, we prioritize connection and community. We invite families to come together over delicious food from a local food truck, with complimentary desserts and drinks to sweeten the experience. It’s a time to share stories, laughter, and build lasting friendships.
The second hour shifts our focus to a cherished time with Jesus. Children will joyfully announce the beginning of adoration with signs and the ringing of a bell, signaling us to gather for a beautiful procession to the tent. During this hour, we envelop in live music and guided meditation led by one of our priests, creating a serene environment for prayer and reflection. Confessions will also be available, offering a moment of renewal and grace.
We close this sacred time with a benediction, sending everyone forth with blessings and inspiration to carry into their daily lives.
By bringing this event to your community, you have the opportunity to foster connections and deepen faith. Imagine the joy of witnessing hearts transform and families grow closer in a shared experience of love and spirituality.
We can’t wait to see how this inspires you to spark a similar event in your own locality!
