Eucharistic Adoration  

Easter Triduum 

Man is both body and soul. As the body needs food to survive, so too does the soul. God placed the soul in us. He alone can nourish it. "The Lamb on the throne will shepherd us and lead us to springs of life giving water." (Revelations 7:17)

Come aside and rest awhile in His presence. You will find the food to nourish the soul and to understand the true meaning of fulfillment, happiness and peace.

"This is my body."
"For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible. For those who believe, no explanation is necessary."(Matthew 18:20) Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Saint John Chrysostom said that He is even there with us in His robe and sandals. The Church invites you to come and experience His miraculous presence during Eucharistic Adoration as a continuation of His presence in the Mass. As we are always in need of committed scheduled adorers, please prayerfully consider spending an hour with Jesus in Adoration.  For further information please call Fran.

Adoration at St. Laurence Catholic Church
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is a vigil of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament exposed in a monstrance. St. Laurence parishioners unite in making a continuous adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in our Chapel of Divine Mercy. Adorers commit themselves to one or more hours a week. During exposition, the Blessed Sacrament should never be left alone. It is thus necessary that a person be scheduled for a specific hour once a week. If you feel you can make a commitment of one hour a week or be on a list of substitutes, please call or email.

Hours Currently Needed 

The first commandment is to love God. What better way to love God than to spend time with Him in the chapel? The Archdiocese guidelines for Eucharistic Exposition require 2 or 3 persons be present at all times. We are in the midst of a campaign to add a second adorer wherever only one is currently in place. Are you that second person? 

             "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
                                                                        Matthew 18:20

"To visit the Blessed Sacrament is.... a proof of gratitude, an expression of love,
 and a duty of adoration towards Christ our Lord"
                                                                                              Paul VI, MF 66

 "...in the evening, even when I get distracted and think of other things, or even
fall asleep praying. In the evening then, between seven and eight o’clock, I stay
in front of the Blessed Sacrament for an hour in adoration." 
                                                                                                 Pope Francis
