Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Come and Adore our Risen Lord!
Eucharistic Adoration began as a practice in the church as early as the first century. Hermits and monks were bringing the Eucharist with them to their remote locations, in order to receive daily. In doing this, their natural reverence for Christ in the Eucharist compelled them to place Him in a chapel of worship, where they would pray.
Over time, monks began serving congregations in communities, bringing this beautiful prayer time with them and sharing the practice with their communities.
Today, we have a beautiful Eucharistic chapel where we can pray daily. Stop by on your lunch break, or any time of day, to pray and receive grace from Jesus’ True Presence in the Eucharist.
Adoration Schedule:

Our Parish Prayer – Mother of Perpetual Help
Mother of Perpetual Help,
You have been our refuge from one generation to another.
Intercede for us now with your Son Jesus.
Help our parish to be an instrument in the hands of God.
Unite and guide us as people of Faith, to become more like Jesus.
May our worship give glory to God.
May our service find its model in your discipleship.
Make us living witnesses of unfailing hope in our troubled world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for us.
Amen.
Visit to the Most Blessed Sacrament
O my Lord Jesus Christ, who for the love You bear mankind, remain night and day in this Sacrament, all full of tenderness and love, expecting and receiving all those who come to visit You: I believe that You are present in the Sacrament of the altar; I adore You from the depths of my own nothingness and thank You for all the favors You have bestowed upon me; and especially for having given me Yourself in this Sacrament, and Your holy Mother Mary as my Advocate; and for having called me to visit You in this church. I pay homage this day to Your most loving Heart and this I intend to do for three intentions: first, in thanksgiving for this great gift; secondly, in reparation for all the insults You have received from Your enemies in this Sacrament; thirdly, by this visit I intend to adore You in all places upon the earth, where You are least adored and most neglected in Your Sacrament.
My Jesus, I love You with my whole heart. I repent of having in the past so many times displeased Your infinite goodness. I intend, with the help of Your grace never more to offend You in the future; and at the present, wretched as I am, I consecrate myself wholly to You. I give You, and utterly renounce, my entire will, all my affections, all my desires, and all that I possess. From this day forth, do with me and with all that is mine whatever is pleasing in Your sight. I ask and desire only Your holy love, final perseverance and the perfect fulfillment of Your will.
I commend to You the souls in purgatory, especially those who were most devoted to this Blessed Sacrament and to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
I commend to You in like manner all poor sinners. Finally, my dear Savior, I unite all my affections with those of Your most loving Heart, and thus united I offer them to Your eternal Father, and I pray to Him in Your name graciously to accept and answer them for love of You.
–St. Alphonsus Liguori
Prayer for the Revival – Our Lady of Fatima
My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love you!
I beg pardon for those who do not believe, nor adore, nor hope, nor love you.
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly.
I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ,
present in all the tabernacles of the world
in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference
by which He is offended.
And, through the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I beg of You the conversion of sinners. Amen.
