Catholic 203 May 19, 20, 21
Eucharistic Guardian ProgramAs many of you might already know, the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage is coming to the Diocese of Bridgeport from May 19 to May 22. A part of the larger National Eucharistic Revival, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come together as a faith community to pray, worship and bear witness to the True Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
As such, we are excited to share an opportunity for you to uniquely participate in this leg of the National Pilgrimage. Thanks to a grant from Foundations in Faith, Catholic203 will be sponsoring a Eucharistic Guardian program for our young adults to participate in overnight Adoration sessions on May 19 (at St. Charles Borromeo Parish in Bridgeport), May 20 (at St. Mary Parish in Norwalk), and May 21 (at St. Cecilia Church in Stamford).
Similar to parishes with Perpetual Adoration, Eucharistic Guardians would sign up for a one-hour time slot to adore Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. These time slots would start at their respective parishes at 9:30 pm and would conclude with Benediction at 8 am the following morning. And don't worry, you won't be alone— members of the Knights of Columbus will be present at every overnight Adoration.
Participating in the Eucharistic Guardian program entitles you to the following:
