It supports individuals on their journeys to the fullness of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Ministry of 24hr Eucharistic Adoration is open to all parish members and offers an opportunity to spend devotional time in quiet prayer and meditation in the presence of our Lord in the Consecrated Holy Eucharist. A time to be close to Christ, to feel His presence in devotional serenity. A time to build upon your faith and devotion to our Lord.
​
Jesus Christ asked his Disciples to stay awake with Him in the Garden of Gethsemane, won’t you spend some time with Christ thru Adoration of this Blessed Sacrament?
​
The Holy Eucharist is displayed within the Golden Monstrance in the Chapel of the Virgin Mary for 24 hours from 7am Friday to 7am Saturday. You can chose an hour time slot and sign up as a weekly adorer and sign in at your arrival, or you can come to the chapel as a guest and sign our guest sheet. Our requirement is that we have, as a minimum two (2) adorers, more are certainly welcome, in Adoration at any time period. And of course, that your time there is spent in peaceful tranquility and reverence in the presence of our Lord.
​
During the 24 hours of Adoration you may enter the chapel thru the side door of the church or thru the rear door. During late night and early morning hours you will need to knock on the rear door to enter. And please remember to sign the “sign-in book” located on the pedestal this will help the ministry determine where adorers may be needed and how the ministry is doing.
