Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where do I park?

Please park in the St. Joe's or Armory/Jay-C parking lots, if you are able. If parking on the hospital campus, use 9th Street parking closest to the heli-pad. 

2. What if there is bad weather?

During inclement weather, feel free to pray while remaining in your vehicle. If a weather alert advises you to remain home, then please stay safe and pray from inside your home. If able, please be faithful and fulfill your commitment.

3. What do I pray?

While prayer is nothing more than talking to God as you would speak to your closest friend, there are many ways to pray. Some pray Scripture. Feel free to do so. If Catholic, feel free to pray the Rosary. This is a community-wide event. What matters is your obedient heart and the prayers of the faithful.

Suggested Scriptures include:

  • Ephesians 6:10-14
  • Second Corinthians 10 (for breaking strongholds)
  • Mark 11:23
