Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament...
The Holy Eucharist!

Gathering around the Table of the Lord to celebrate His Body and Blood in the Holy Eucharist gives us the opportunity to participate in the food that strengthens our spiritual lives and disposes us to imitate the life of Jesus Christ.

It has always been a wholesome tradition of the Church to pay honor and worship to the Body and Blood of Christ 'outside the Mass'. This practice of adoration keeps the faithful soul close to the source of all good, Jesus Himself. During the time when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for adoration, we are in personal communication with Jesus in prayer. His heart touches our hearts. His life encourages our living.

Each Thursday morning, from after the 8:15am Mass till Noon, we have ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. Stop by the Church and spend some time in personal prayer before the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
