COMMIT TO A DAILY HOLY HOUR

Sign Up

Mary's Marines

Mary's Marines commit to spend 15-60 minutes each day in front of the tabernacle or monstrance in any of our chapels on Campus or the Parish Church.

“Doing a holy hour everyday has completely changed my life. By going to visit Our Lord in the blessed sacrament, my relationship and friendship with Jesus has deepened beyond anything I could have done outside of His presence. It's where I get my peace, it's where I hand Him ALL my worries or cares, it's where I've made my friends, it's where I've found my jobs, a place to live, it's where I learned to love, it's where I've been loved, it's where I'm formed, and it's where I'm truly happy. Ever since joining the Marian Marines, I've found that I'd be a complete mess everyday if I didn't get time with Our Lord!”
