  Archdiocese of Detroit invites Catholics to ‘prepare their hearts for the Lord’ during Advent with daily Eucharistic Holy Hours

DETROIT - The Archdiocese of Detroit invites the faithful and entire community to celebrate Advent with daily Eucharistic Holy Hours at parishes throughout southeast Michigan.

Advent is the liturgical season leading up to Christmas, a time in which Catholics prepare their hearts for the Lord as they prepare their homes for the holidays. It begins this year on Sunday, November 27 and concludes on Christmas Eve, December 24.

The Archdiocese this year has partnered with parishes to offer special Eucharistic Holy Hours at 7 p.m. every day of Advent, as part of its I AM HERE campaign launched in June to inspire people to encounter Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and experience His transformational power. A Catholic “holy hour” is the devotional tradition of spending an hour in Eucharistic adoration in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, the Body and Blood of Christ in the form of consecrated bread and wine.

The first Holy Hour will take place on at 7 p.m. November 27 at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament, 9844 Woodward Avenue in Detroit. A full schedule of Holy Hours is available at iamhere.org/advent. All are welcome.

To further assist the faithful in preparing their hearts during this holy season, the Archdiocese also offers massfinder.org and confessionsfinder.org for Catholics and others seeking nearby options to attend Holy Mass or confession. Also known as penance or reconciliation, confession is the Catholic sacrament of forgiveness in which penitents are absolved from their sins and reconciled with the Christian community.
