The Adoration Chapel

Our Eucharistic Adoration Chapel replaced the former chapel vacated by the Sisters of the Most Precious Blood. The former chapel was the setting for the past twenty years for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Approximately 130 parishioners volunteer to spend an hour of adoration each week, praying for the various needs of their fellow parishioners and their own intentions. The chapel is accessible 24 hours each day and 7 days a week, with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from 1:00 p.m. on Sundays until 10:00 p.m. on Fridays.
