Perpetual Adoration
Eucharistic adoration is time with Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. The Perpetual Adoration Chapel reserves our Eucharistic Lord in a monstrance. This worship comes from the Catholic dogma that Jesus is truly and sacramentally present - body, blood, soul, and divinity - in the Eucharist, under the appearance of bread in the consecrated Host.
You can be a permanent adorer by signing up at the parish office for the same hour each week, or you can enter the chapel as a visitor by going to the Parish office and receiving a temporary visitor code.
You do not need to know exactly what to say or do. Come as you are. Pray, read Scripture, offer your intentions, give thanks, or simply sit quietly with Jesus. Whether you have spent many hours in Adoration or are coming for the first time, you are always welcome.

In adoration, Catholics seek to revere and to encounter our Lord in the Eucharist. Our Lord Jesus Christ is truly, really, and substantially present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. In Eucharistic Adoration, we have the extraordinary privilege of coming before Christ Himself - Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity - and remaining with Him in prayer.

There is no particular formula for Eucharistic Adoration. You can pray silently, speak to Jesus in your heart, read Scripture, pray the Rosary or Liturgy of the Hours, or simply rest silently in His presence. Your time with Jesus may be quiet and simple.
Remember, you are coming to be with Jesus and grow in your relationship with Him. You don't have to accomplish anything. Be still. Be present. Let Him love you.
