Milton Sister Church invitation to pray for Newtown, Conn. – The pastor of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, Milton, would like to invite everyone to a Holy Hour and Novena for Peace for the parish of St. Rose of Lima, Newtown, Conn., for those who lost their lives and for their families and friends.  As St. Rose of Lima’s “sister parish,” we should support them with our prayers during this extremely difficult time. The Holy Hour and Novena will be from 9:30-10:30 am at St. Rose of Lima, 6451 Park Ave., Milton, starting on Dec. 17 until Dec. 24, with concluding prayers at the Mass on Christmas Day, which is at 10 am. The Holy Hour will include exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. If one is not able to make it to the Holy Hour at the Church, then please pray with us at home, work, school, etc. to be in prayerful solidarity with those struggling with this tragedy. If one is not able to make it to the Church from 9:30-10:30 am, please know that the prayer chapel is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. May we support each other by lifting each other in prayer to the Lord!
