The 13th Anniversary of the Perpetual Adoration Chapel

Which Opened on June 2, 2000

As we celebrate the Anniversary of the Perpetual Adoration Chapel, we recognize that 13 years of prayer translates into:

2 Adorers x 24 hours a day x 7 Days a week x 52 weeks in the year x 13 years = at least 227,136 hours of prayer dedicated to Our Lord

 The Adoration Chapel provides a space before the Blessed Sacrament for countless moments of revelation, peace, and being in the true presence of our Lord who loves each one of us.

Many thanks to all of our dedicated scheduled adorers for making Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration possible. If you are not currently a scheduled adorer, maybe you too are being summoned.  

 We are in need of two scheduled Adorers at: 5 p.m. on Monday; 3 p.m. on Tuesdays; 1 p.m. on Wednesdays;        2 p.m. on Thursdays; 3 p.m. on Saturdays; and 6 p.m. on Saturdays except 1st week of the month. Just commit to one Saturday a month.

We are in need of one scheduled Adorer at: 9 a.m. on Wednesday.

  The Chapel is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for walk-ins. Contact Kathy at kmgallson@roadrunner.com or 839-9223, or Jeanne at 839-4061 if you can become a scheduled Adorer.

 Jesus asks us,  “Could you not watch an hour with me?”  - Matthew 26:40
