Church News
Perpetual Adoration Chapel
"What will convert America and save the world?" 
"My answer is prayer. What we need is for every Parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in Holy Hours of prayer." Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Mother Teresa also said, "Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration. Our lives must be woven around the Eucharist...fix your eyes on Him Who is the light; bring your hearts close to His Divine Heart; ask Him to grant you the grace of knowing Him, the love of loving Him, the courage to serve Him. Seek Him fervently."

HE is still there, in the Tabernacle, and will be exposed in the Monstrance after a Special Procession Sunday, Sept. 11th before the 11:30 am Mass to place Him back.

Please prayerfully consider committing to an hour once a week - everyone should have an hour. It will be the best hour of you week.
