Referred to as “the secret engine room of the parish” by Father Smith, our Perpetual Adoration Chapel is open 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. Visitors, parishioners, and scheduled Adorers spend time in the Chapel. You are always welcome!
The Lord present in the Holy Eucharist is never left alone in a Perpetual Adoration Chapel. For that reason, adorers adopt Holy Hours to spend with the Lord. Adorers are always needed. You can sign up for a day and hour weekly that works best for your schedule. Or, you can review the list of adoration hours open for adoption to fill a need. Those hours are listed in the bulletin weekly. If you are unable to commit to an hour a week, consider volunteering as a substitute adorer for others.
“The purpose of the Holy Hour is to encourage deep personal encounter with Christ. The holy and glorious God is constantly inviting us to come to Him, to hold converse with Him and to ask such things as we need and to experience what a blessing there is in fellowship with Him. One of the by-products of the Holy Hour was the sensitiveness to the Eucharistic Presence of Our Divine Lord.” – Archbishop Fulton Sheen
