Mary's Choice expands adoration hours

Even though Planned Parenthood may have closed in Sioux City, pro-life leaders have stressed the importance of continued prayers as abortions continue to happen.

With that in mind, about a month ago Dawn Grimes of Mary’s Choice Pregnancy Resource Center in Sioux City announced it would expand the hours of adoration in the chapel at the center in the near future.

Mary’s Choice recently set up a link in order to sign up for adoration. To sign up, please click HERE.

According to Grimes, the chapel is equipped with an exposition tabernacle from Italy that contains a small circular door to open a window of sorts for viewing of the Blessed Sacrament that remains behind glass. Grimes first saw this type of tabernacle at the Broom Tree Retreat Center in Irene, South Dakota.

“This exposition tabernacle allows people to adore Jesus without putting an extra burden on priests or deacons (to expose the Blessed Sacrament),” she said. 

Also, it allows more flexibility in the times and hours for adoration because if there is not an adorer, the door to the window on the tabernacle can simply be closed.

It is Grimes hope that they will have people come for adoration every day the facility is open, which presently is Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
