Venue: Sacred Heart Chapel

Details: The Sacred Heart Chapel is open Monday to Friday from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM for the faithful to come and accompany Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Did you know that Jesus is constantly waiting for you in the Eucharist? Before His Ascension, Jesus told us:
“And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20) Yes, He meant what He said — He waits for us in a form even more humble than a human being. “Come! I am here in the Eucharist.” Next week, during the Friday 5-6pm, no one has signed up to accompany Jesus. If you are able to spend one hour with Him, please let us know what time you are available. If you are willing to commit to a regular weekly time slot to accompany Jesus, please contact Paul Chu to join the Adoration Team and we will arrange a time for you.
