In dioceses across California — and indeed around the country — many parishes are inviting the faithful to come together for special Holy Hour services as a way to stand in solidarity with immigrants and with people living in detention centers. These Holy Hours, often held before the Blessed Sacrament in Eucharistic adoration or dedicated time of prayer and reflection, offer a profound means to embody compassion and accompaniment.

In this way, Holy Hours become more than a devotional exercise — they become a visible and spiritual act of solidarity, a statement of faith in justice, and a commitment to accompany those whose lives have been disrupted, detained, or displaced. More information below on Holy Hours taking place throughout California dioceses.
