Just what exactly is an 'XLT?"  Well, it stands for 'exalt,' with the idea that we are all called to exalt, praise, adore and love God.  XLT's provide a space, time and and forum in which to do just that!

XLT's are Eucharistic Holy Hours. 

• The Eucharist is exposed on the altar, our God comes even nearer!  The Presence of Christ in the Eucharist is a hard to understand mystery, but it is easier to study and learn about the Mystery when you are near to it! 
  
• The music is geared towards helping you as young people to enter into the presence of Jesus, our God, in the Eucharist, maybe in a way you haven't ever done before.  It is geared toward opening your heart, your mind, your soul and your body to the living Word of God that is proclaimed, and the graces that our Lord wants to give to you.
• The Word of God is proclaimed, and is then preached on briefly, on a topic or issue that is important and relevant to you as young people.  God can speak to us in many ways, often through silence, often through nature, but one of the main ways He has chosen to communicate to us is through His priests!  It is important sometimes to get past your initial impressions of them, and focus on the fact that they are one of the major ways that God has chosen to speak to you, and guide you!  
  
• Then, the whole thing closes with benediction.  We are blessed with the monstrance holding the Sacred Presence of Christ in the Eucharist!  And then, we are sent forth to live what we have experienced.  Love, mercy, holiness, truth, goodness, forgiveness!
• The XLT for January is always geared towards the message of the goodness, dignity and absolute necessity to defend, nurture and support life, in all its stages.
