EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
"Every moment that we spend in the presence of the blessed sacrament will leave our soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in heaven, because the blessed sacrament is Jesus, our risen Savior, with all the glory and beauty of His resurrection flowing out on those who come into His Eucharistic presence. Even if you cannot pray very well or even if you do not say anything at all, the mere fact that you come to Him in the blessed sacrament is, in itself, a prayer of faith that will greatly benefit your soul." (Pathway to Holiness, John J. Cardinal Carberry).
Our Lord is waiting for us in Eucharistic Adoration held every Tuesday following the 8 AM Mass until 7 PM and on Saturday from 9-10 AM.
