Come worship the Blessed Sacrament with us in the Sanctuary. Spend time in quiet contemplation of the Real Presence of Jesus and let His peace enter into your life.
As Blessed Mother Teresa said, “When we look at the cross, we know how much Jesus loved us. When we look at the tabernacle, we know how much Jesus loves us now“.
Nocturnal Adoration has a threefold purpose:
- To provide a fervent response to Christ’s invitation to keep prayerful vigil with him (Matthew 26:36-40, Mark 14:32-38, Luke 22:40-46).
- To deepen the experience of communion with Christ Eucharistic, as he continues his self-offering and saving influence.
- To live more consciously and actively the full significance of the Eucharist as the sacrament of charity and unity for the church and the world.
