Adoration Guardian of the Blessed Sacrament


The public adoration hours begin after daily Mass ends at 9:30 AM and ends at 9:00 PM.  The chapel is only open to Guardians of the Blessed Sacrament during the secure nocturnal hours of 9:00 PM to 6:30 AM. 

The Blessed Sacrament is reposed on Saturday and Sunday due to sacramental celebrations. 


EXTRAORDINARY BLESSINGS – Adoring Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament

When we are willing only to do what is ordinary, then we can only expect God’s ordinary blessings.  Only when we are willing to do the extraordinary, we may hope to obtain extraordinary blessings. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is absolutely the extraordinary effort that God is asking of us today in order that He may bestow upon mankind His extraordinary blessings.

“The only time our Lord asked the Apostles for anything was the night He went into agony.  Not for activity did He plead but for an Hour of companionship.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen

What is a Guardian of the Blessed Sacrament?

Guardians of Adoration offer an hour of prayer each week before the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in the monstrance in the Adoration Chapel.  The Blessed Sacrament can never be left alone.  As a weekly guardian, you will make a weekly Holy Hour, whereby you come to the Adoration Chapel at your appointed time, sign in, and remain in the Chapel until the next set of guardians come to relieve you for the next scheduled hour.  The goal is to schedule a minimum of four guardians for every morning, afternoon, and evening hour, and two guardians during the nocturnal hours.  This is to ensure someone is always guarding the Blessed Sacrament.  In the event there is a conflict, the guardians need only communicate with their peer guardians.

Please prayerfully consider saying YES to spending just one hour of your week with Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.
