For over 25 years, countless men, women and children from our Parish and beyond have made their way to our Saint Mary Parish Adoration Chapel. There they have found great nourishment and strength praying in the presence of the Eucharist - the Blessed Sacrament. Why Eucharist Adoration? Why spend time in our Adoration Chapel? Because it is a place where you can be with the Lord in prayer without distractions. We lead busy lives, and carving private prayer time out of our hectic days and /or finding a quiet place for prayer can be a challenge. Our Adoration Chapel has been and is such a place for many and can be that kind of place for you. Remember the words of Our Lord in the Gospel: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened. Come to me and I will refresh you." Our Adoration Chapel could become your place of spiritual peace and refreshment.
Procedure When Leaving the Blessed Sacrament Unattended
Since at least one Adorer should be present when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, our Tabernacle is designed with a set of wooden doors that can be closed if and when no Adorer is present. If an Adorer finds himself / herself unable to remain and no other Adorer is present, the wooden doors can be respectfully closed before exiting the Chapel, and the next Adorer can reopen them.
