Eucharistic Adoration
-
As Catholics, we believe that Christ becomes truly present within the Blessed Sacrament during the consecration at Mass. As promised by Him, His Presence is abiding, not something that vanishes at the conclusion of Mass. In order for the Faithful to honor the Eucharistic Presence of Christ outside of Mass, a priest or deacon removes the sacred host from the tabernacle and places it in the monstrance on the altar for Adoration by the Faithful.
During Eucharistic Adoration, we can sit silently in His Presence and open ourselves to His graces which flow from the Eucharist. By worshiping the Eucharistic Jesus, we allow God to transform us and walk away with great peace, being renewed by God himself.

“Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest after the Sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most helpful to us. The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: By not only celebrating the Eucharist, but also by praying before It outside of Mass, we are enabled to make contact with the very Wellspring of Grace.”
— St. Alphonsus Liguori

The Eucharistic revival
The Eucharistic Revival calls every Catholic across the United States to rekindle the fire of love and devotion for the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus and take part in renewing the Church by each fostering a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. This nationwide revival launched on the Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), June 19, 2022. Over the course of three years, dioceses will host Eucharistic Congresses and processions, which included a National Eucharistic Congress held from July 17 to 21, 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana, in anticipation of the International Eucharistic Congress scheduled for 2025.

Praying the Rosary
Saint Pope John XXIII once said, “The rosary is a school for learning true Christian perfection.” Adding to this, Saint Pope John Paul II stated, "The rosary is a prayer both so humble and simple, and theologically rich in Biblical content. I beg you to pray it."
