“Nowhere does Jesus hear our prayers more readily than in the Blessed Sacrament.”
– Blessed Henry Suso
“People ask me: ‘What will convert America and save the world?’ My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in Holy Hours of prayer.”
– Mother Teresa
Spend time with Our Lord as a regular scheduled adorer. Committing one-hour per week in Adoration is a simple but profound act of faith, in which we seek and receive His merciful love. The chapel relies on hourly adorers, who by their commitment to adore at the same time each week, ensure that the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for as long as possible each day for all visitors to adore!
