Adoration

All are invited to commit to a weekly holy hour as an Adoration Apostle each Thursday at Saint Joseph Parish. Adoration Apostles attend Adoration at the same time each Thursday in order to ensure that the Sacrament is accompanied throughout the day. The graces of Adoration are manifold, and Adoration Apostles make it possible for our church to remain open for Adoration to anyone who needs a moment with Jesus throughout the day.

We are currently scheduling for the new year, from January 5 – June 1, 2023. Please prayerfully consider becoming an Adoration Apostle, and sign up now.

"Look upon the hour of Eucharistic Adoration as an hour in Paradise." -St. Peter Julian Eymard
