1 Friday Adoration Volunteers are needed to take 30 minute to 1 hour shifts to Pray in the SBA chapel on the First Friday of each month, excluding school holidays. Ideally, we hope to have 2 people per shift. The shifts begin at 7:30am and end with the 2:00pm (which goes until 2:40pm). This beautiful tradition of our Catholic faith allows us to sit in silent prayer before our Lord who is present in the Holy Eucharist and lift up the needs of our SBA faculty, staff, students, alumni, and those connected to the SBA family.
