Hello everyone!

I’m a revert to the Faith. Baptised as a child, but with no education in the faith, as my parents moved towards atheism as I grew older. I’ve now been in RCIA for a few months and have been studying on my down time. I’d like to become more involved in my parish and be able to be step outside the “Sunday only” thing. But as I look through the calendar, I’m not quite sure what certain activities are. I have done a few google searches, but I do believe I’d get the best answers by asking this on the forums.

I was wondering what the prayer cenacle and holy hour were. Any thoughts, experiences or information on these would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, and God Bless!
 
Holy Hour is a pious exercise of vocal or mental prayer, sometimes spiritual reading, while in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. A consecrated Host is placed in a monstrance on the Altar and the Faithful are able to spend an hour in the presence of our Lord in adoration of Him.

A prayer cenacle is a meeting place, where the Faithful gather for common prayer. For example, there are Devine Mercy Cenacles where devotees gather together to pray the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy.
 
Our cenacle is the Cenacles of Life. We pray 2 decades of the Rosary to end abortion, fast that day on bread and water, or offer up some other penance for the fast. Here’s the website: Cenacles of Life

Holy hour is when the blessed sacrament is exposed in a monstrance, also known as Eucharistic Adoration. It’s wonderful. I love my hour with our Lord. I pray the Rosary, then talk to him, well, kind of unload my troubles and concerns. Best hour of the week!

I hope this helps. Welcome back home! 🙂

Kudos for wanting to be active in your parish. I am sure that your parish has many ministries which will provide you with opportunities to do so. Your Pastor and RCIA Director should both be able to share with you about these ministries.

Thank you everyone for your help! I definitely am interested in both of these opportunities. They sound noobie-friendly as well :).

Asia53, thank you very much for the link, what a beautiful devotion. Through my studies, I’ve fallen in love with the Church’s teachings on life.
