About Us
|
Eucharistic Adoration with Exposition of the Blessed
Sacrament is an opportunity once a month, usually on
the first Monday (except when a major holiday moves it
to the second Monday) to pray before our Lord present
in the Blessed Sacrament. There is a connection
between this devotion and the Mass. During the Mass,
hosts are consecrated for communion during that Mass,
as well as for communion for the sick and dying who are
unable to worship with the community. A large reserved
host is also placed in the Tabernacle for prayer in
Jesus’ presence. Once a month, this host is placed in a
monstrance and is exposed on the altar. This devotion
is a natural outgrowth of the Mass and prepares us, as
does the Mass, to go into the world to perform acts of
service, justice and peace that will help us be the
faithful body of Christ and build up God’s reign in the
world.
We are always looking for new people who would like to
commit themselves to a somewhat permanent hour of
adoration. There are backup people who are willing to
fill in, in the event someone needs to be away. All are
always welcome to come for any period of time,
without needing to call.

When We Meet
|
The day of Eucharistic Adoration is the first Monday of
the month, except when a major holiday falls on the
first Monday. Then, it is held on the second Monday.
The day begins in church after 8:30 AM Mass, and
continues until 7:00 PM with closing Benediction. All are
welcome to spend one hour, or even a part of an hour
with Our Lord on these days.
