Eucharistic Adoration is the act of worshipping God as He is present in the Blessed Sacrament (consecrated Eucharist). Since the Last Supper, when Jesus broke bread and shared wine with His disciples and said "This is my Body" and "This is my Blood," Catholics have believed that this bread and wine are the Body and Blood of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ. Spending time before the Blessed Sacrament is time spent before our Heavenly God. Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is continuous exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for the purpose of uninterrupted adoration, twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. Jesus welcomes everyone to visit and spend time with Him regularly.
In May 1997, parishioners at St. Mary Church began adoring Jesus in the Holy Eucharist 7 days a week 24 hours a day. This devotion has continued to this day! The parish and those who participate have received numerous blessings from spending time with Jesus.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
-
NO! Adoration is still being conducted! During marriages and baptisms that are being conducted at the chapel, the monstrance is moved to the basement. The entrance can be reached directly from the parking lot at the back of the chapel next to the “Church Hall” sign.

-
-
NO! We need our committed adorers to be physically present. A physical presence helps deter inappropriate behavior and actions that may occur by outside visitors. Should an issue occur, we would recommend pressing any of the panic buttons around the chapel walls to summon the police and then get to a safe area such as the basement or the lockable bathroom on the main floor.
