Adoration

“God dwells in our midst, in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar.”
St. Maximilian Kolbe

Turn your eyes upon Jesus and give it all to Him! The Blessed Sacrament is exposed throughout the week as follows. Enter the Eucharistic Chapel through Door C (a handicap accessible entrance is located at Door D). Children are ALWAYS welcome!

Sign up for your Wednesday Holy Hour using the instructions and link below. Effective August 2025, we have a new expanded Adoration schedule (see details below) and we are now using AdorationPro for sign ups as well as for sign ins during Wednesday adoration.

HOLY HOUR SIGNUP

Adoration Schedule – Effective Aug. 1, 2025

Due to popular demand, we are thrilled to announce the PERMANENT expansion of our Eucharistic Adoration schedule! Effective August 1, our new schedule is:

  • Tuesdays: 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. in the Sanctuary
  • Wednesdays: 9:45 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Eucharistic Chapel
  • Thursdays & Fridays: 9:45 to 11:00 a.m. in the Eucharistic Chapel
  • Saturdays: 3:00 to 4:15 p.m. in the Sanctuary

We are also excited to share that we are offering TWO special Holy Hours per month to ensure that Adoration is accessible to everyone!

  • Sensory-Friendly Holy Hour (First Saturday of the month from 3:00 to 4:15 p.m. in the Sanctuary): a Holy Hour for children and adults with special needs: Down Syndrome, Autism, Dementia, etc. with low lighting, no incense, and safety to move around as needed.
  • Baby & Tot Holy Hour (Third Wednesday of the month from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. in the Eucharistic Chapel): a Holy Hour for parents and their littles and spend time with Jesus in a safe and judgement-free environment.
  • PLEASE NOTE: These special Holy Hours are thoughtfully designed to serve the needs of families with young children and individuals who benefit from a sensory-friendly environment. The atmosphere during these times is welcoming, gentle, and flexible—intended to support prayer through movement, soft sounds, and a more relaxed setting. While the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed for adoration, these Holy Hours will not follow the traditional format of extended silence. If you are seeking a quiet, contemplative time of prayer, we invite you to join us during one of our other Adoration times, which may better suit that experience.
