Eucharistic Adoration With transforming mercy, Jesus makes our hearts one with His. Jesus stays in the Holy Eucharist so “He is kept alive. He restores morality, nourishes virtues, consoles the afflicted, strengthens the weak. He proposes His own example to those who come to Him that all may learn to be, like Himself, meek and humble of heart and to seek not their own interest, but those of God.” Eucharistic Adoration is scheduled each Friday from noon to 8 p.m. A sign-up sheet is at the chapel door for your convenience. Please call Jackie at 917-0458 if you can spend an hour in the chapel with Jesus.
