Perpetual Adoration
A traditional form of prayer that involves exposition of the Blessed Sacrament displayed in a monstrance. Parishioners either drop in or commit to regular times of one hour per week in the church adoration chapel on the north side of the church. Eucharistic Adoration recalls Christ’s question to his disciples in the garden of Gethsemane before his passion, "Could you not watch one hour with me?"
