Adoration will be suspended for Christmas break starting on December 17 at noon. Adoration will resume on January 5 at 1 PM.

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!

Please adhere to the safety guidelines by wearing a mask and maintaining social distance.  We have wooden space markers that can be removed when families come to adore together.  Please replace them when leaving.  The Mass video guidelines for phase 2 explains details for Adoration resuming in the St. Julienne of Liege Chapel at the 6:48 minute mark.  View video

Do you feel Jesus’s desire for you to join this ministry of keeping watch with him and allowing those in need to find a church open at any time day or night?  Please commit to an hour a week being in Christ’s physical presence to contemplate and pray with Him.  

If you are interested in signing up for a weekly hour to adore Jesus or have questions, 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.
