Eucharistic Adoration

At St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, Jesus can be adored in the Most Holy Eucharist in our St. Julienne of Liege Chapel every hour of every day! Come and spend time with Jesus truly present in the Holy Eucharist and allow Him to transform your life. Everyone is welcome at any time!
Do you feel Jesus’ desire for you to keep watch with him and allow those in need to find a church open at any time day or night?  Please commit to an hour a week of being in Christ’s physical presence to contemplate and pray with Him.  
If you want to spend a weekly hour adoring Jesus, please complete the form below, and Sarah Schwind will contact you.

For 2000 years, Catholics have believed Jesus to be truly present in the Most Holy Eucharist, just as He taught His disciples in John 6. We believe that at each celebration of the Mass, bread, and wine are truly transformed into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore, Jesus comes to be present with us not only spiritually, but physically. In the Eucharist, Jesus is just as present with us in the disguise of bread and wine as He was in the disguise of a man 2000 years ago when He walked the earth.

Therefore, if Jesus is truly present (body, blood, soul, & divinity) in the Most Holy Eucharist, then we can gaze upon Jesus and worship Him in His physical presence. Therefore, we are blessed with the awesome opportunity to worship Jesus through Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, or most Holy Eucharist. In Eucharistic Adoration, the Eucharistic Host (the Body of Jesus) is placed in a gold monstrance to be adored.
