Adoration Invoking the Holy Ghost to Guide the Conclave of Cardinals

by

Mater Dei will have a special adoration vigil to pray for the Conclave of Cardinals in Rome. May the Holy Ghost enlighten the hearts and minds of the Cardinal electors to raise up a shepherd who will lead the Church after His Own Heart.
Adoration will begin at the completion of the 5:30 p.m. Mass on Sunday, May 4, and continue for the duration of the conclave.
Please sign up for Eucharistic Adoration on the adoration sign-up calendar to help ensure that we have adequate attendance for Our Lord at all hours of the vigil.  Here is a link to the sign-up calendar:
