Preparation for the Total Consecration to Mary
@Precious Blood, Monday, March 3 – Monday, April 7, 7:00 pm
Join us for five Mondays this Lent as we journey with Mary, our spiritual Mother, to the foot of the cross. Each evening will begin with the Rosary, followed by a presentation from Curtis Kneblik on the Blessed Mother’s role in our spiritual lives and her significance in our path to holiness. Together, we will prepare to make or renew our consecration to Mary using the booklet Preparation for the Total Consecration to the Immaculate according to St. Maximilian Kolbe, which will guide us in offering ourselves fully to our Blessed Mother before Palm Sunday. Let Mary guide you as you take up your cross and follow her to the foot of Christ’s crucifixion, where you too will hear the words: “Behold your Mother” (John 19:27).

Tenebrae Service
On Good Friday
@Holy Trinity, after the Noon Stations
Experience the sacred tradition of Tenebrae, where fifteen candles gradually extinguish as we journey through readings from Psalms or the Gospels, enveloping us in symbolic darkness. Through this solemn reflection, we contemplate Christ’s ultimate sacrifice and the darkness He endured on the cross. Yet, as we meditate on the fading light, we find hope in the promise of Easter, where the triumphant return of the “Light of the World” dispels the shadows of despair. Let us embrace the mystery of Tenebrae, knowing that even in our darkest moments, the light of Christ’s love shines brightly, guiding us towards salvation. You are welcome to join us for the entire afternoon, after Stations or before the Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion. The schedule is as follows:
12:00 pm: Stations
12:30 pm: Scriptural Rosary
1:00 pm: Tenebrae
2:00 pm: Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion

Precious Blood Companions
2024-04-14 13:00 - 14:00 | Precious Blood Church with Map, 4961 Salem Avenue, Dayton, OH, United States
Meets Monthly on Sunday, 1:00 pm
Precious Blood Companions are inspired by Precious Blood Spirituality and called to be in relationship with the Missionaries of the Precious Blood in order to form a community that seeks to give voice and presence to the power of the Precious Blood that draws all people near. The journey begins by attending a Precious Blood gathering to learn more about the history of the community and core values or charisms of St. Gaspar. What you may hear will resonate in your heart because you already exhibit some of these values. We meet once a month at Precious Blood Church. The first step is formation where you will learn more about what it means to be a Companion and about Precious Blood Spirituality. At the conclusion of formation, if you desire, you will present a written covenant with the community.Becoming a Companion is a wonderful way to strengthen your personal spirituality and to meet others who share that calling.
