- Eucharistic Holy Hour & Prayer of Lament: In the past, our Eucharistic Holy Hour at Presbyteral Convocation was dedicated to praying for Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life. This year, our time of Adoration will employ the psalms of Lament to express our anger, fear, bewilderment and sorrow at the sexual abuse crisis. This is, indeed, a time to weep. Benedictine Confessors will be available for individual Confession and Absolution during this time.
