"Let Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament speak to your hearts. It is he who is the true answer of life that you seek. He stays here with us: he is God with us. Seek him without tiring, welcome him without reserve, love him without interruption: today, tomorrow, forever." -St. John Paul II
Eucharistic Adoration is when we come to adore Jesus Christ, truly present under the appearance of bread in the Holy Eucharist. Adoration is an extension of the Mass, when the priest elevates the host and says, "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." It also stems from Jesus's invitation to His apostles that they keep watch with him in prayer the night before He died.
Each adorer commits to being a critical link in an unbroken chain of love offered to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament whereby the parish enthrones Him King by giving Him the honor and glory due His name through perpetual Eucharistic adoration. By means of perpetual adoration the community gives great honor and glory to the Lord because, “worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor,glory and blessing (Rev. 5:12) and to be incessantly adored for all that he has done for our salvation.” (cf Rev. 5:9) Each adorer is individually called to take part in perpetual Eucharistic adoration, freely responding to the first commandment, “The Lord your God is the one to whom you must adore, him alone you must serve.” (Mt 4:10) Besides, for each adorer, “the act of adoration outside of Mass prolongs and intensifies all that takes place during the liturgical celebration itself.” (Pope Benedict XVI, Sacramentum Caritatis, #66) Thus, the chapel of perpetual adoration becomes an oasis of peace where people go to gain new strength according to the call, “Come to me all you who labor and are overburdened and I will give you rest” (Mt. 11:28), and to open a temporary gap in the daily hustle and bustle of life to be in the Lord’s Divine Presence. “Be still and know I am God.” (Ps 46:11)
Our Adoration Chapel is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Hours for the general public are from 7 am to 9 pm. Between the hours from 9 pm to 7 am, Adorers are to keep the outer door locked. A camera and a door bell are at the outside door for use between 9 pm and 7 am. The Adorer inside may view the front door and sidewalk and use the intercom thru a small monitor in the sacristy area of the Chapel. It is the Adorer's decision to allow someone to enter during these night time hours.
