Eucharistic Adoration is an affirmation of our faith. Through this vigil of prayer given to Christ who is present in the Eucharist, we give witness to our belief that God is dwelling with His people. Adoration takes place from 5 PM to 7 PM in the Church every Wednesday.

Forty Hours of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament occurs four times a year (inquire at the Church Office).

​

SP: La Adoración tiene lugar los miércoles en la capilla de 8:30 A.M. a 6:00 P.M. La Adoración de las Cuarenta Horas tiene lugar cuatro veces al año. Jesús nos llama y dice: "Vengan a Mí todos los que están cansados y tienen dificultades en la vida y Yo los refrescare". Cada momento que lo dediques a estar en la Presencia de Su Santa Eucaristía, aumentará Su Vida Divina dentro de ti y hará más profunda tu relación personal con El. Ven a pasar un momento con El, Él te está llamando.

Lumen Dei Ministry offers and promotes the Traditional Latin Mass, also known as the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. The Traditional Latin Mass embodies our humble and submissive approach to God; it manifests His infinite mercy and forgiveness to us. It is God -centered- the priest, in the person of Christ, offers to God the Sacrifice made for sins and leads the people to their Father as the good shepherd leads his sheep.
