Devotions are important Catholic traditions of prayerful means of drawing nearer to Christ, His Blessed Mother, and other saints. Devotions enrich and further develop one’s faith and prayer life. The most common devotions practiced as a community at Saint Anthony are Eucharistic Adoration, recitation of The Holy Rosary 30 minutes before Masses, recitation of The Divine Mercy Chaplet, on Sundays after Mass, participation in The Divine Mercy Holy Hour, and attendance at First Friday Mass.
