We start with Exposition, then Rosary with a Eucharistic flavour, followed by silent adoration. Ending with Evening Prayer of the Church and as much of Benediction as we can without a priest. All welcome. Since Covid, this hasn’t happened and also unfortunately, we have lost some of our Adorers RIP. So here’s hoping a new group of people can come together to adore and praise the Lord every Thursday, the day Jesus left us this wonderful gift.
