Eucharistic Adoration
Eucharistic Adoration Chapel
For 2000 years, Catholics have believed Jesus to be truly present in the most Holy Eucharist, just as He taught His disciples in John 6. We believe that at each celebration of the Mass, bread and wine are truly transformed into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore, Jesus comes to be present with us not only spiritually, but physically. In the Eucharist, Jesus is just as present with us in the disguise of bread and wine as He was in the disguise of a man 2000 years ago when He walked the earth.
Therefore, if Jesus is truly present (body, blood, soul, & divinity) in the most Holy Eucharist, then we can gaze upon Jesus and worship Him in His physical presence. Therefore, we are blessed with the awesome opportunity to worship Jesus through Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, or most Holy Eucharist. In Eucharistic Adoration, the Eucharistic Host (the Body of Jesus) is placed in a gold monstrance to be adored (see picture above).
Every Friday from 7:00AM to 7:00PM the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in the chapel. The chapel is in the Parish Activity Center in the old crying room. At least two people are needed each hour to spend time in prayer before the real presence of Jesus. In addition, all night adoration is held on the First Friday of each month beginning at 10:00PM Friday until 6:00 AM on Saturday in the church. Third Fridays adoration is held in the Chapel from 7:00 PM until 12:00 AM.
