You may be asking yourself: What is Eucharistic Adoration? Eucharistic Adoration is a practice in the Catholic Church where believers pray to Jesus Christ before the Eucharist, expressing their love for Christ in a more intimate way. While prayer can happen anywhere due to God's omnipresence and omniscience, Eucharistic Adoration is unique because Catholics believe that Jesus is substantially present in the Eucharist. This belief leads to a deeper and more real experience of prayer and worship during Eucharistic Adoration compared to daily prayers.
Are you wanting to take that next step and sign up for a weekly Holy Hour? Then Barbara Gagliardi (our Adoration Coordinator) would love to hear from you! Contact her at the link below. Most hours already have an adorer so you won’t be by yourself. If you are unable to make a week, simply contact your partner(s) and someone will be there with the Blessed Sacrament. A bit nervous about making a weekly commitment? Sign up as a substitute instead. However much time you can spend with Jesus, a few minutes to a weekly Holy Hour, He is just happy to see you.
"By standing before the Eucharistic Christ, we become holy." -Blessed Carlo Acutis
