In addition, there is an opportunity for spiritual growth through communal prayer. This is an invitation to join the Sisters of Charity for prayer on Sunday evenings. at 6:30 PM. The next scheduled Sunday is July 11th.  The focus will be the final verses of the Magnificat.  All are welcome!

On Wednesdays there is exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from 11AM through 3:30 PM (5:15 PM on Mass Days)

The Eucharist is the source and summit of all Christian life. The Eucharist is the very sacrifice of the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus which He instituted to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until His return in glory.  The Eucharist is a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a paschal banquet, in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.

         Can you not watch one hour with Me?

In the Sacred Host, Jesus is present, the true treasure, always waiting for us.  Only by adoring this Presence do we learn how to receive Him properly.

Understood simply, Eucharistic Adoration is adoring the Eucharistic presence of Christ.  In a deeper sense, it involves “the contemplation of the Mystery of Christ truly present before us.

Adoration takes place at:

   Caritas on Wednesdays from 11AM to 3PM.
