Church of the Assumption

On the First Friday of each month, we offer the opportunity for Eucharistic Adoration. The location and time will alternate between Assumption and Resurrection, depending on the scheduling of weddings, funerals, etc. When it is at Assumption, Adoration will start at the end of the 11:15 am Mass and end at 7:00 pm. When it is at Resurrection, it will start after the 8:30 am Mass and end at 4:00 pm.

Because it is important that the Eucharist be attended at all times, we are asking parishioners who are able to commit to a particular hour. Of course, everyone is encouraged to come to pray before the Blessed Sacrament at any time during these hours. Signups just help us to make sure that we always have people present, even in the event someone is unable to make it for their committed hour.

When Catholics say they are “going to Adoration,” they are typically referring to Eucharistic Adoration. Which, in the most basic terms, is the worship of the Eucharist outside of the Mass. The Eucharistic Host is displayed in a monstrance on the altar so that all can see and pray in the presence of Christ.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us that, “Adoration is the first attitude of man acknowledging that he is a creature before his Creator. It exalts the greatness of the Lord who made us and the almighty power of the Savior who sets us free from evil. Adoration is homage of the spirit to the “King of Glory,”respectful silence in the presence of the “ever greater” God. Adoration of the thrice-holy and sovereign God of love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications.” (CCC 2628)

We can show our adoration to God in many ways, but in Eucharistic Adoration, we spend time adoring the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
