Fr. Sieg's Message
 

Greetings!


 

In 2006, Archbishop Harry Flynn wrote a letter to the members of the Archdiocese on the subject of Eucharistic Adoration. Within that letter he said, "Adoration of the Eucharist has a long standing tradition in the Catholic Church. We encounter the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. I strongly believe in the power of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. This kind of prayer can change people's hearts. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament draws us into the Paschal Mystery and leads to a deeper appreciation of the Mass."
