What is Adoration of the Eucharist?
Adoration of the Eucharist, also known as Eucharistic adoration, is a practice rooted in the Catholic faith. It involves the solemn and reverent worship of Jesus' presence in the Blessed Sacrament, which Catholics believe is truly His body and blood. During Eucharistic adoration, the consecrated host is placed in a monstrance on the altar for faithful to approach in contemplation and prayer.
The Significance of Adoration in Our Faith
Adoration of the Eucharist holds great significance within the Catholic tradition. It is a time for personal reflection, intimate connection with Jesus, and a deepening of one's faith. Through the act of adoration, we express our love and gratitude to our Lord and Savior, recognizing His real presence among us. During Eucharistic adoration, we are invited to approach Jesus with an open heart, bringing our joys, sorrows, and intentions before Him. It is a powerful way to experience His divine presence, seek spiritual healing, receive guidance, and find solace in times of need. Adoration helps nurture an intimate relationship with Jesus and deepens our understanding of His sacrifice for our salvation.
Adoration Schedule and Practices
At St Clare Parish, we offer multiple opportunities for Eucharistic adoration throughout the week. Our schedule includes dedicated times for personal prayer and communal adoration. We encourage all members of our community, as well as visitors, to participate and experience the blessings of this profound spiritual practice.

The atmosphere is one of reverence and tranquility, providing a peaceful sanctuary for encounter with Jesus.
