1st Friday Adoration

Volunteers are needed to take 30 minute to 1 hour shifts

to Pray in the SBA chapel on the First Friday of each month,

excluding school holidays.

Ideally, we hope to have 2 people per shift. The shifts

begin at 7:30am and end with the 2:00pm (which goes until

2:40pm).

This beautiful tradition of our Catholic faith allows us to

sit in silent prayer before our Lord who is present in the

Holy Eucharist and lift up the needs of our SBA faculty,

staff, students, alumni, and those connected to the SBA

family.

Psalm 46:10…..Be still and know that I am

God.

If you are interested in this gift of yourself through

Prayer at SBA please contact Cathy MacDonald at

[email protected], or by phone at 901-751-

4218 or 901-674-0032 (cell).

First Friday Adoration begins with Friday, September 2nd,
