We are blessed at St. Marguerite d'Youville to be able to have Perpetual Adoration.

WHAT IS PERPETUAL ADORATION?

Perpetual Adoration is a Eucharistic devotion whereby members of a given parish (or other entity) unite in taking hours of adoration before the Most Blessed Sacrament (in most cases, exposed), both during the day and throughout the night, seven days a week.

We invite everyone to come to the Perpetual Adoration Chapel to pray and meditate within the silence of His Presence.

Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, said that "our essential commitment in life is to persevere and advance constantly in Eucharistic life and piety and to grow spiritually in the climate of the Holy Eucharist."

For those who have never visited the chapel before, we inform you that the Perpetual Adoration Chapel is located behind the door to the left of the altar as you walk towards the altar.

We are so busy in our everyday lives that some find it very difficult to visit.  We should arrange our time so that we can give to God a special time.  A visit of even a few minutes is better than no visit as not everyone can commit to an hour each week.

If we bring along our little ones they will then learn the importance of being with God and having Him in their lives every minute of every day.  Also, ask friends to join with you in your visit.

Remember one of the first things you learned in Catechism:

Q:  Why did God make us?

A:  To know Him and to serve Him in this world and to be happy with Him in the next.

Lastly, remember to sign in as you visit.  There are so many who visit but we do not see how many as only a few remember to sign in.  God knows you are there, but we would also like to know!
