“Be still and know that I am God.”
– Psalm 46:11
There are few ways to encounter Jesus more powerfully and to hear His invitation to come and follow as His disciple than the time before the Blessed Sacrament; for Jesus is truly present in a unique way in the Eucharist. Just as we love to waste time with those we love, Jesus loves to waste time with us.
The Chapel of the Holy Innocents is a 24-hour perpetual Adoration Chapel, where Our Lord is exposed in the Blessed Sacrament so that all may praise, worship, and adore Him at any time, any day. So many graces flow to those who spend time before Christ in Eucharistic Adoration. Prayerfully consider committing to one hour per week. Many hours need a prayer partner as we strive to have two committed Adorers per hour. For information on the adoration chapel, please fill out the form below or contact Mary Jeandron at ext. 1554.
“Could you not keep watch with me one hour?” – Jesus (Matthew 26:40)
“When we contemplate Him present in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar, Christ draws near to us and becomes more intimate to us than we are to ourselves. Remaining in silence be- fore the Blessed Sacrament, it is Christ totally and really present whom we discover, whom we adore and with whom we are content.” - Pope Saint John Paul II
“The Holy Hour in our modern rat race is necessary for authentic prayer. Our world is one of speed in which intensity of movement is a substitute for lack of purpose; where noise is invoked to drown out the whisperings of conscience; where talk, talk, talk, gives the impression that we are doing something when really we are not; where activity kills self-knowledge one by contemplation… The Holy Hour means giving up a golf game or a cocktail party or a nap. Sometimes it is hard.” But it is worth it! – Archbishop Fulton Sheen
