Reverent Prayer Time –
Eucharistic Adoration

Third Thursday of each Month
Will occur on: December 18, 2025
12:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. (in church)

What is Adoration? Adoration is a quiet time spent in prayer before Jesus present in the Eucharist. It is a sign of devotion and worship of Jesus Christ, who is believed by Catholics to be present in body, soul, and divinity, under the appearance of the consecrated host. 

If you are interested in spending silent prayer time in front of the Blessed Sacrament at St. John Nepomucene, the church will be available every third Thursday from 12 pm – 6 pm for prayer! We will have an individual lead the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3 pm.

If you would like to be added to the list of individuals who take hour(s) for Adoration or have any questions; please contact Tammy at (920) 202-1631 or via email at:  tammyspidle@gmail.com.

Tuesday Evening Women’s Bible Study

Tuesday Evenings
Conference Rooms 122A & 122B (parish center)
6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

The Bible Study Group will be studying “In Time: A Catholic Advent Devotional for Women about Time and Waiting” – from Blessed Is She beginning on December 2nd for Advent.

Through daily Scripture passages, thoughtful reflections, and heartfelt prayers, this devotional guides women to live Advent with greater intention. It helps you see waiting not as absence, but as God’s presence in motion, teaching how to rest in the “suspense” of His ongoing work while growing in trust, patience, and hope.

Whether you read quietly in the early morning or gather with a women’s group or parish study, In Time becomes a meaningful companion for prayer and reflection. With each day, you are led closer to the heart of the Father, preparing for Christmas with peace and joy.

To view the book, please click here.

Please join us on any Tuesday evening! ALL ARE WELCOME! If you have any questions or would like a book, please contact Tammy at tammyspidle@gmail.com.

As Jesus anticipates his imminent fate, the fifth season depicts the first part of Holy Week, starting with his triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

Men and women(of all ages) are always welcome to join the Wednesday Morning Bible Study Group at any time – join when it works for you! We meet year-round.
