Adoration (Eucharistic)

Parishioners are invited and encouraged to spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament every Tuesday during Eucharistic Adoration from 8:30 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. ending with Benediction. Volunteers are needed as the Blessed Sacrament cannot be left unattended. Sign-up sheets are located by the Blessed Mother’s Shrine and at the back entrance of the church.

Book Rack

The parish bookrack in the church vestibule provides a means of adult faith formation by offering Catholic periodicals for sale. Pamphlets from Christian social service organizations and prayer cards are available free of charge. The parish office oversees the suitability of materials placed.

Disciples for the Dying

This ministry prays for those living throughout the world every day, but die due to illness, wars, tornadoes and other forms of violence. On the first Friday of each month, a Mass is said for those dying daily and is rotated within our cluster parishes.

Men's Breakfast Club

Open to all Catholic men, the breakfast club meets on the first Saturday of each month to reinforce the grace available through camaraderie, shared faith, and commitment to each other and the church. Our primary mission is to allow Jesus to open the spiritual eyes of these men and to set their hearts ablaze for Christ, helping them to become truly men, truly Catholic. See their page for more information.

Prayer Line

When parishioners request special prayers, their intentions are passed to many people via the Parish Prayer Line. This is an effective way to intercede for important prayer intentions. New intercessors are always welcome.

Prayer Warriors

This ministry began in response to the numerous issues that are happening in the Church and world today. Many believe that there is power in UNIFIED prayer, fasting and abstinence, by God’s Grace. This ministry follows a monthly schedule of weekly intentions and daily spiritual exercises. There are no meetings, but they do sponsor events and holy hours a few times a year. To join us in prayer and/or get more information, please contact the ministry at: stsebastianprayerwarriors@gmail.com

Vocations Promotion

This group fosters vocations to the priesthood and religious life by providing material for the bulletin, arranging speakers to share inspirational testimony and providing prayers and the Traveling Vocation Cross.

Votive Lights

Volunteers are needed daily after the 8:00 a.m. Mass to maintain the votive candles in the church and collect the donations.
