Adoration Chapel

Adoration of the Body of Christ is offered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year round. Eucharistic Adoration is a traditional form of prayer that involves exposition of the Blessed Sacrament displayed in a monstrance, in recalling Christ's invitation: "Come to me all you who labor and are burdened and I will give you rest". The faithful respond by committing one hour of adoration each week, or simply drop in as the Spirit calls. This time spent with the Lord helps to deepen our personal relationship with Christ and is a window of God's grace for the parish and others.

Urgent need for adorers from Midnight to 6:00 AM. For further information, please contact Nancy Curcio at 503-235-5165 or Emma Bosco at 503-238-0072.
