1st Saturday Devotions at the Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament

1st Saturday Devotions
The Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament
Hanceville, Alabama

Each 1ST SATURDAY we encourage individuals to travel to the SHRINE OF THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT in Hanceville, Alabama in conjunction with Our Lady's request of 1st Saturday Devotions. Prior to 2005, the Miracle of the Rosary Mission sponsored 1st Saturday Retreats; however, after prayerful consideration and permission from our Spiritual Director, we have now renewed this practice starting again in December 2009.

We hope to see you at the Shrine. We know and understand it is not possible for most people to journey to a pilgrimage there each First Saturday, but we hope you will come if possible. Come and be refreshed and renewed. We enter into a wondrous time in the history of humanity and the Church. Let us gather together at the Shrine of our Eucharistic Lord and together cry out from the heart with one voice, Come! Lord Jesus.

From the moment one's feet hit the ground, one can feel the presence of the Lord. You know you are on holy ground. The Shrine reflects our Lord's presence, with the Eucharist exposed and adored in a monstrance greater than 7 feet, from morning until evening, . All there know that Jesus is present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, and one can show Him the reverence that He deserves. He is present and awaits the faithful every day. It will be an awesome experience!

"Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
