| Eucharistic Perpetual
Adoration -
Eucharistic Perpetual Adoration is permanent exposition of
Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament (7 days a week, 24 hours
a day) in a room or chapel set aside for this purpose.
Eucharistic Perpetual Adoration at Blessed Sacrament Parish
began on Corpus Christi Sunday in June of 1984. Members of
St. Joseph and other Parishes participate in providing the
adorers required for the 168 hours per week. All people of
faith are invited to participate.
What are the benefits?
Each person that spends time in the presence of Jesus in the
Most Blessed Sacrament grows in holiness. Communally,
increased Mass attendance, conversions, the return of the
fallen away Catholics and vocations to the religious life
are among the many fruits of Eucharistic Perpetual
Adoration. Our Holy Father declared that through our holy
hours of prayer, we are contributing to "the radical
transformation of the world", "the establishing of
everlasting peace", and "the coming of Christ's Kingdom on
earth". |
