Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration

All are invited to come and adore our Eucharistic Lord at any time (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) in the Adoration Chapel, which is located next to the Prayer Garden across from the Community Center.

While anyone is welcome to adore during any hour of their choosing, we also need scheduled adorers who commit to adore during the same hour every week to help maintain the 24x7 availability of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration.

If you're interested in being a scheduled adorer, please contact Anthony Brown at  anthonyjbrown@yahoo.com to sign up for any hour that fits your schedule or for one of the following hours that currently need a scheduled adorer:
 

• Monday 1am
• Wednesday 3am
• Thursday 6am
• Friday 3am.

Based on the belief that Jesus is really and truly present in the Eucharist that is consecrated during the Mass, Eucharistic Adoration is the practice of adoring Jesus in the Eucharist. This begins in the Mass with adoration by genuflecting or bowing to the tabernacle where the reserved Eucharist is kept, gazing upon the Eucharist during the consecration, and receiving the Eucharist in our bodies during Holy Communion. It then extends beyond the Mass in a holy hour with the Rite of Exposition and Benediction, and many parishes offer Eucharistic Adoration during an extended period of some amount of limited hours on select days. Some parishes, including CtR, offer Eucharistic Adoration on a perpetual (24/7) basis, and this is Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration.

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration consists of at least one person committing to adore during at least one hour every week. There are 168 hours throughout the week to ensure at least one person is present before the Blessed Sacrament during every hour of the week, although ideally there should be at least two people present at all times.

Therefore, all the faithful are invited to prayerfully consider signing up to adore weekly during an hour of their choice.
 

"The time I spend in the chapel allows for quiet reflection, which always refreshes my spirit and gives me peace. I love this special time spent in adoration of our Lord and look forward to it each week. Commitment to this ministry is not a 'sacrifice' of time, but rather God’s tremendous gift to us! What can be better than having a special audience with our Lord before the Holy Eucharist?"
