Eucharistic Chapel of Divine Mercy


"Be still and know that I am God."
(Psalm 46:10)

April's Prayer Intention:
To Generously respond to the Lord's call for evangelization.


Eucharistic Adoration Chapel Hours:
Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM
Saturday from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM

"In the Eucharist, the Son of God comes to meet us and desires to become one with us; eucharistic adoration is simply the natural consequence of the eucharistic celebration, which is itself the Church's supreme act of adoration.

"Receiving the Eucharist means adoring Him whom we receive. Only in this way do we become one with Him, and are given, as it were, a foretaste of the beauty of the heavenly liturgy. The act of adoration outside Mass prolongs and intensifies all that takes place during the liturgical celebration itself." (Pope Benedict XVI - Sacramentum Caritatis 66)

Pope Benedict XVI --
from an address to priests in Poland, May 25, 2006

"In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host. Be assiduous in the prayer of adoration and teach it to the faithful. It is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering."


It is indeed a privilege to have the Eucharistic Adoration available to us. We need a minimum of two people for each hour, and additional Adorers are needed to ensure that the Blessed Sacrament is never left alone. Please call Jean Munson at 703-266-6238 for more information or to become a regular Adorer.
