There are many great reasons to spend time in Adoration with our Lord, but the most important is to deepen your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The most important connection we make is the one we make with the Lord. Whether you are feeling lost and need guidance, or are just looking for a quiet place set apart to pray, come and spend some time with the Creator of the universe. Jesus wants to give you His peace through spending time with Him.

sign up for an hour of adoration
To commit, please visit: ssjacs.weadorehim.com
Committed adorers are individuals who dedicate a specific hour each week to adore. They ensure that the Eucharist is never left unattended, serving as custodians during their appointed time.- We are looking for a second committed Adorer for many hours to ensure continuous presence with Jesus.
- To restore 24-hour Perpetual Adoration, more committed Adorers are needed to fill various vacant spots.
Consider gathering a group to commit to a weekly one-hour shift. If you have a book club, Bible study group, of family and friends, you could take turns fulfilling the committed hourly shift each week.For additional information or to discuss the remaining hours for 24-hour Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration, kindly reach out to our volunteer coordinators.

our lord is truly present
Adoration of Our Lord present in the Blessed Sacrament is one of the best ways to grow in our relationship with Him and to grow in holiness–as all Catholics are called to do. The saints recommend adoring our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament to help Catholics to grow in their spiritual life. Saint Alphonsus Liguori wrote, “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.”
Spending time in adoration answers the question that Jesus asked Peter and that he continues to ask all of us: “Could you not watch with me for one hour?” (Matthew 26:40; Mark 14:37) Please pray about when our Lord is calling you to spend an hour with him, as we hope to return to Perpetual Adoration.SJA - St. Mary chapel
