24 HOUR ADORATION
Every week from Wednesday at 6:00pm until Thursday at 6:00pm continues at St. Florence.

For safety, the church is kept locked, and Adorers given access to unlock the doors. Resources are available to learn how to pray during adoration.

TEAMS OF OUR LADY
Mission Statement
Teams of Our Lady is a movement of Christian Marriage Spirituality, which brings together couples united by the Sacrament of Matrimony, and who wish, together, to deepen the graces of their Sacrament.
It offers married couples a pathway toward love, happiness and holiness. This movement’s aim is to help couples live fully their Sacrament of Marriage.
“Teams of Our Lady have as their essential aim, to help couples strive after holiness—no more, no less.” (Fr. Henri Caffarel, founder of the Teams of Our Lady)
About
Teams is a group of 5-7 couples and a spiritual counselor that meet monthly to share a simple meal, prayer, sharing on the endeavors, and a study topic that has family/marriage/spiritual focus. The endeavors are the heart of the spirit of Teams. The couples form a unit that is supportive and caring; where ideas are exchanged and thoughts are challenged. In addition to the meetings there are opportunities for a yearly retreat and family prayer. There are couples of all ages in Teams, with and without children.
More information about the international organization and its history can be found by clicking here.
All couples who decide to join will make a commitment to be a part of a Team for a year. We will hold information sessions prior to this where couples can learn more before commiting.
