Come and Spend Time with Jesus

What is Eucharistic Adoration?

Eucharistic Adoration is a time of prayer before Jesus Christ, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. During Adoration, the consecrated Host is placed in a special vessel called a monstrance and displayed on the altar so that we may spend quiet time in the presence of the Lord.

You do not need to know special prayers or have any previous experience with Adoration. Simply come.

You may pray the Rosary, read Scripture, speak to Jesus from your heart, offer prayers for someone in need, sit quietly, or simply rest in His presence. There is no one “right” way to spend this time.

Adoration gives us an opportunity to step away from the noise and busyness of everyday life and be with the One who loves us. As we spend time with Christ, we learn to listen more closely to Him and allow Him to strengthen us for our lives, our families, and our service to others.
