The members spend fifteen minutes weekly in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. Once a month they form an honor guard for the Lord in the Holy Eucharist by adoring Him for one full hour, thus benefiting tremendously from the spiritual treasures He promised those who keep watch with Him. In addi- tion, members subscribe to the national publications Emmanuel and The Sentinel. Standing: Leonard Kronkowski, Treasurer: Paul Pindel, Secretary.
