Adoration Blessed Sacrament.png

ADORATION & BENEDICTION

Our parish hosts Adoration every Thursday after the 9:00 AM mass, from 9:30 AM - 12 PM, concluding with Benediction at 12 PM. Discover the immeasurable graces that come from spending quiet time with Our Lord in silent Adoration. We will gradually be increasing the hours until Adoration is occurring all day on Thursdays. If you are interested in signing up for a weekly slot please email Christopher.

 

That Man is YOu

“That Man Is You” is a program designed specifically for Catholic men.   It addresses the pressures and temptations that men face in our modern culture, especially those relating to their roles as adults, husbands, and as fathers. The program consists of 13 sessions in the fall and another 13 sessions in the spring.  St. Nicholas Parish will be hosting the program each Saturday morning at 7 am starting with breakfast, followed by a 30-minute video presentation from the “That Man is You” series, and it will conclude with 30 minutes of small group discussion.  

The whole program is 90-minutes, and it is timed to allow you to come and participate in the early morning, so you still have the remainder of your Saturday for your family obligations.  

Our first Saturday breakfast meeting will be on September 14th.  All men of the parish who are at least 18 years old are invited to attend, including college-age men, fathers of young children, fathers of teenagers, fathers of grown children, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers.

 

Pray & Stay Women’s Ministry

Pray & Stay helps women grow in holiness day after day, that is learning how to be a reflection of the heart of Christ by becoming the Heart to our families and to our parish. We do this through receiving the Sacraments, reading scripture and studying church teaching, and by serving each other through friendship and the gift of our time and talents.

Fellowship Thursdays @ 10-11:30 AM, Old Church

Spiritual Direction

“Spiritual direction is a continuous process of formation and guidance, in which a Christian is led and encouraged in his special vocation, so that by faithful correspondence to the graces of the Holy Spirit he may attain to the particular end of his vocation and to union with God”  - Thomas Merton 

Saint Nicholas's team of trained Spiritual Directors accompany individuals at every stage of the spiritual life. They can help discern the voice of the Lord and where He is calling. Spiritual direction is for anyone and everyone hoping to grow their spiritual lives. If you are interested in meeting with one of our directors please reach out to us!
