The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us that, “Adoration is the first attitude of man acknowledging that he is a creature before his Creator. It exalts the greatness of the Lord who made us and the almighty power of the Savior who sets us free from evil. Adoration is homage of the spirit to the “King of Glory,” respectful silence in the presence of the “ever greater” God. Adoration of the thrice-holy and sovereign God of love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications.” (CCC 2628)
We can show our adoration to God in many ways, but in Eucharistic Adoration, we spend time adoring the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament occurs each weekday morning before the 7:00am daily Mass, beginning at 6:00am. The Holy Hour concludes with the praying of Morning Prayer at 6:45am.
While Notre Dame Seminary is in session, we also offer Adoration in the evenings, Monday - Thursday at 6pm.
