Eucharistic Adoration

St. Peter’s has been blest to have 24 hour Eucharistic Adoration on Wednesdays since 2006. Some of the original adorers are still there once a week spending time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

We encourage each of you to find a time in your busy lives to experience Eucharistic Adoration.

Adoration begins after the 8:00 Wednesday morning Mass until Benediction before Mass begins on Thursday morning.

The Divine Mercy Chaplet is prayed at 3:00 pm.

All are invited to join in this powerful prayer time.

24-hour Eucharistic Adoration is available every Wednesday.

We also have Adoration on the First Friday of each month from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.
