Come and Adore!
All are invited to come and adore our Eucharistic Lord in the renovated Adoration Chapel, which is open 24/7 and is located next to the prayer garden across from the Community Center. See the video on this page to hear from Fr. Sean about the changes to the Adoration Chapel, including how to repose the Blessed Sacrament if no one else is present when you leave.

What is Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration?
Based on the belief that Jesus is really and truly present in the Eucharist that is consecrated during the Mass, Eucharistic Adoration is the devotion of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. 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, which is Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration.
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration consists of at least one person committing to adore for 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 Impact of Adoration
Weekly adorers share why they are dedicated to Eucharistic Adoration.
"It is our place of total peace! I suffer from migraines and neuralgia and have absolutely no pain when there! If I could be there 24/7 I would. It is a miraculous place."- Mary N.
"In addition to Sunday Mass, this is another hour that my husband and I get to spend together. We are united as one with each other and our Savior and we feel blessed!"- Peggy S."It's incredible to know that the sense of calm and protection I feel when I am with Him are nothing compared to the astonishing yet quiet graces I am showered with when I am present before our Eucharistic Lord."- Teresa G."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?"
- Judy J.
"Adoration has helped me to set life aside for a while, to focus on Jesus and to rest in Him."
-James B.
