Adoration and First Friday Devotion

Eucharistic Adoration

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament flows from the sacrifice of the Mass and serves to deepen our hunger for Communion with Christ and the rest of the Church.

Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

What is Eucharistic Adoration?

Understood simply, it is honoring the Eucharistic presence of Christ. In a deeper sense, it involves the contemplation of the Mystery of Christ truly present before us.

The Eucharist is displayed in a sacred vessel called a monstrance, and visitors remain in silent worship or prayer in His Presence, opening themselves to His Graces which flow from the Eucharist.

Christ’s great love for us was shown when he was crucified on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and give us eternal life. He loves us without limit, and offers Himself to us in the sacrament of the Eucharist. Can we not give Jesus a few minutes of love and adoration in return?

First Friday Devotion

Please note that we have confession every Friday in the chapel from 5:00 to 7:00pm, and we hold First Friday Devotion (every month in the chapel) with Stations of the Cross and Divine Chaplet. All are welcome! We hope to see you there!
