Eileen Goetzger, a parishioner at St. Mary’s Winfield Church in Woodside, Queens, often prays the rosary in the peace and quiet of her parish’s perpetual adoration chapel.
But it was only a few years ago that her church decided to keep its newly expanded chapel open for 24 hours, and the change in hours was made possible thanks to volunteers like her. She speaks with Currents News about what her time in the chapel means for her and her church community.
The pastor of St. Mary’s Winfield, Father Christopher O’Connor, also joins Currents News to talk about the parish’s history and how Eileen’s personal experiences and presence in the church have led her to reinvigorate not the adoration chapel, but her relationship with Christ.
