"Come to me all you who labor and find life burdensome and I will give you rest" ~Matthew 11:28

UPDATE on our return to Perpetual Adoration. We currently have Eucharistic Adoration from Tuesday, after the 8 AM Mass, through Wednesday at 6 PM. We are currently working to fill and open the hours from Wednesday 6pm through Friday 8am. We have an easy sign-up option with this program and are hopeful this will assist us in our return to Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration at the chapel. 

We are asking all who sign up on days when the Blessed Sacrament is in repose to start coming to their hour NOW! If we are in the chapel praying when the Blessed Sacrament is reposed in the tabernacle we can pray for more people to sign up for an hour so that He will not remain hidden away in the tabernacle. Please share and encourage others to sign up for a Holy Hour with Jesus.

Please use the link below to sign-up up and spend an hour with Jesus each week.

The Sacred Heart Eucharistic Adoration Chapel opened June 2007. 
Perpetual Adoration began on August 15, 2009

Msgr. Michael Osborn opened the Sacred Heart Eucharistic Adoration Chapel in June of 2007, and we became a Perpetual Adoration chapel on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15, 2009.

As of December 2012, we had 275 scheduled adorers and an average of about 700 visitors each week. The adoration chapel has a separate outside entrance at the back of the downtown church. We are one of only 3 perpetual adoration chapels in the diocese.

Perpetual Adoration is a Eucharistic devotion whereby members of a given parish or community unite in taking hours of adoration before the Most Blessed Sacrament, both during the day and throughout the night, seven days a week.

We hope that adoration will bring to our community:

• An increase in vocations to religious life and the priesthood
• An increase in Mass attendance and reception of the sacraments
• A greater community spirit centered on the heart of the parish, Jesus' presence in the Blessed Sacrament

Eucharistic Adoration is offering an hour to our Lord for all he has done for me. It is an opportunity for prayer and quiet time away from the distractions of daily life.

We invite you to prayerfully consider offering an hour to our Lord in adoration. You are welcome to participate:

• Individually
• As a family
• As a team with others
• Substitute for others

You are always welcome to visit the chapel at any time. There is a visitor area directly behind the inner chapel with information, materials and books that may be borrowed during adoration.
