PERPETUAL ADORATION


Adoration is a favorite practice of many Catholics. But sometimes, one can sit in adoration and think, “What should I do?”


Or maybe you have fruitful prayer and silence in the first 45 minutes of a Holy Hour, but then you find yourself simply counting down the minutes.  The video below shares 11 practical ways to spend an hour with Jesus.


Rest in the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist! It'll change your life.


Perpetual Adoration 24/7 in the Chapel

Sign-ups are required for access to the Chapel.

To sign up, call 253-759-3368 or email us.
