Whether for a Holy Hour, or just a few minutes, we invite you to come experience the peace of Christ, present to us in the Holy Eucharist.The Perpetual Adoration Chapel is open day and night for parishioners and visitors to spend time with Jesus. This is a quiet place of reflection, to contemplate and draw near to the Lord.
In order to have this blessing available 24 hours a day, we must have dedicated adorers committed for each hour throughout the week to spend time in the presence of our Lord. This is a wonderful opportunity to pray silently before our Lord for comfort, strength, peace and direction and to present Him with your needs and intentions. Parishioners may sign up as volunteer adorers (commitment is for one hour a week), substitute adorers (to cover individual schedule conflicts).
What if I am unable to fulfill my committed hour?
There is a list of people who are willing to substitute for you when you are unable to fulfill your commitment.
What is Adoration?
Adoration is a devotion in which the Eucharist remains exposed in a monstrance. Perpetual Adoration is a devotion continuing without interruption 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in which parishioners commit to a specific day and time (one hour) every week.
Each moment that you spend in His Eucharistic Presence will increase His Divine life within you and deepen your personal relationship with Him.
When you look upon the Sacred Host, you look upon Jesus, the Son of God. “Indeed, this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks upon the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life. Him I will raise up on the last day.” (John 6:40)
Why Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament?- To bring honor and glory to Our Lord through praise and worship.
- To profess your faith and gratitude for His true presence in the Eucharist.
- To deepen your prayer life and our personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
- To spend time listening to Our Lord to discover His will for your life.
- To be healed physically, spiritually, and emotionally, and deepen His Peace within you.
- Prayer is the Heart of Every Parish “What we need is for every Parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer.” Mother Teresa
