ADORATION CHAPEL COORDINATOR
Our head adoration chapel coordinator, Heidi Anderson, will be moving out of town in the next TWO WEEKS. Someone will need to step up to help fill that position. The following are the five key things this person does:
1. Be the contact person. (for whatever - mostly people giving up their hour)
2. Cover the open hours each week by finding a sub. (Sharon can no longer do this so I have been.)
3. Keep the master schedule up to date and send to Jean.
4. Send updates to Jean for the bulletin. (open hours, chapel closings)
5. Decide when the chapel needs to be closed for holidays etc. and post signs. I can make a list of them.
It's not my desire to do so, but if no one steps forward, we will have to consider together how we would be able to keep the adoration chapel open without having a coordinator.
Please contact Father Neil if you are able to help out - frneil@sjbjordan.org

The Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary is celebrated every year on August 15th. This feast commemorates the death of the Blessed Virgin Mary and her assumption, body and soul, into Heaven. It is the most important Marian feast, and it is also a Holy Day of Obligation.
The Assumption is an important feast in the Church. It instructs us on one of the important Marian Dogmas and it is an important feast to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary. Here are the prayers for the Assumption Novena.
