Our Eucharistic Chapel is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide
a sacred space for private devotions, prayers, and visits to the
Blessed Sacrament.
Parishioners (and non-parishioners) have volunteered to spend one hour
in prayer and adoration before the Blessed Sacrament.
If you want more information or are interested in volunteering time for
perpetual adoration, please contact the coordinators.
What is meant by the “Real Presence” of Jesus
The mode of Christ’s presence under the Eucharist species is unique. It
raises the Eucharist above all the sacraments as “the perfection of the
spiritual life and the end to which all sacraments tend.”
In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist
“the body and blood, together with the soul and
divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly,
really and substantially contained.”
“This presence is called ‘real’by which is not
intended to exclude the other types of presence as if they could not be
‘real’ too, but because it is presence in the fullest sense:
that is to say, it is substantial presence by which Christ, God and man,
makes Himself wholly and entirely present.
