Eucharistic Adoration

Eucharistic Adoration is held in the parish every Monday immediately following the 7:15 a.m. Mass and concluding on Tuesday at 7:00 a.m. just before daily Mass. All are welcome to attend. Contact the parish office at 243.1099 to sign up for a regular weekly hour of Adoration.

What is Eucharistic Adoration?

Eucharistic Adoration is a time set aside with the exposition of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. During this time people spend a quiet "Holy Hour" in Christ's Eucharistic Presence. This time may be spent in prayer, reflection, reading the Bible, or doing other types of spiritual readings and devotions. This time of prayer is simply our response to Jesus' love for us; it is a time to simply relax and enjoy the peace that comes from simply being with the One who loves you most.

Eucharistic Adoration is for any member of the parish or visitor. We do have a schedule to assure there is someone present with the Blessed Sacrament each hour of Adoration. However, that does not prevent a person from coming at anytime to spend time in Adoration, prayer and silence before the Lord. Come join us. It may be what is missing from your life - prayer and intimacy with Christ.

"The only time our Lord asked the Apostles for anything was the night when He went into His agony. But as often in the history of the Church since that time, eveil was awake, but the disciples were asleep. That is why there came out of His anguish and lonely heart a sigh: 'Could you not watch one hour with me?' (Matthew 26:40). Not for an hour of activity did he plead, but for an hour of friendship." - Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Parish Rosary for our youth is held every Monday and Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. in the Church. All are invited to attend.

Father & Son Rosary for all men of the parish is held the first Sunday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in the Church. Bring your son, brother, uncle, nephew or come yourself to support the young men of our parish and instill the value of leadership in the family and the parish.

"The Rosary of the Virgin Mary, which gradually took form in the second millennium under the guidance of the Spirit of God, is a prayer loved by countless Saints and encouraged by the Magisterium. Simple yet profound, it still remains, at the dawn of this third millennium, a prayer of great significance, destined to bring forth a harvest of holiness. It blends easily into the spiritual journey of the Christian life, which, after two thousand years, has lost none of the freshness of its beginnings and feels drawn by the Spirit of God to 'set out into the deep' (duc in altum!) in order once more to proclaim, and even cry out, before the world that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour, 'the way, and the truth and the life' (Jn 14:6), 'the goal of human history and the point on which the desires of history and civilization turn.'"
Pope John Paul II - Rosarium Virginis Mariae
