The importance of Eucharistic Adoration is shown in the fact that the Church has a ritual that regulates it: the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction. This is an extension of the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament which occurs in every Mass: "Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb." Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament flows from the sacrifice of the Mass and serves to deepen our hunger for Communion with Christ and the rest of the Church. The Rite concludes with the ordained minister blessing the faithful with the Blessed Sacrament.
St. Paul the Apostle offers the wonderful opportunity to come and share some alone time in Adoration with the Blessed Sacrament. Eucharistic Adoration is Monday beginning after 7:30 am Mass and concluding at 9:00 am. There are regularly scheduled Adorers but everyone is welcome.
All are invited to Adoration and Benediction on the last Tuesday of the month from 7-8pm.
