Eucharistic Adoration: Spend time with Our Lord
St. John Paul II once wrote, “The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: by not only celebrating it but also by praying before it outside of Mass we are enabled to make contact with the very wellspring of grace” (“Ecclesia de Eucharistia,” 25). We are all encouraged to spend time before the Blessed Sacrament.
Many of our churches offer Eucharistic Adoration on specific days each week or month, and several offer Perpetual Adoration. Visit any of the Adoration Chapels featured below, or explore what parishes near you may offer. Click on Find a Parish and go to the parish website of your choice to learn more.

“May this Congress not stop here, but rather go out into the world that needs so much the Real Presence of Jesus, that needs to know where to be connected, that needs to know what true life is, and may we bring that to our encounter with the stranger – the poor, the orphan, the enemy – and may we recognize Him in the breaking of the bread.”
