| 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. |
