Our Parish Mission Statement: |
He (Jesus) walked here in the same flesh, and gave us the same flesh to be eaten for salvation, but no one eats that flesh unless he first adores it. . . and not only do we not sin by adoring, we do sin by not adoring. -St. Augustine on Psalm 98:9

What is Eucharistic Adoration? Catholics believe that during the Mass which we attend each week (for some of us daily), the priest (during the consecration) speaks these words as he holds the communion host, "...He took bread and gave you thanks. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: Take this all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you". When the priest says "this my body", it is at that instant when, through the miracle of transubstantiation, the bread and wine which we offer as the bloodless sacrifice to our Lord truly become the Body, Blood , Soul and Divinity of Jesus. It is His true Presence in the form of bread and wine. It is Christ.
What do you actually do during adoration? You may sign up to be an "adorer" which allows you to schedule yourself for one or more hours per week to pray before the very presence of Our Lord, exposed in the monstrance. It means that you can have some time alone with Jesus to recite your favorite prayers, read the bible, contemplate acts of faith, hope, charity, thanksgiving, reparation, pray a rosary or do whatever type of prayerful devotion that suits you before Our Lord. You can just sit and say nothing simply keeping Him company, just as you would with a dear friend.
"Jesus waits for us in this Sacrament of Love." (Pope John Paul II, Dominicae Canae)
THE ROSARY IS PRAYED 1/2 HOUR BEFORE THE 10:30 AM MASS ON SUNDAYS
The Cenacle is for priests and lay persons. We pray the Holy Rosary, The Chaplet of Divine Mercy, listen to one of Our Blessed Mother's messages to Father Stefano Gobbi and make our Consecration to Our Blessed Mother for the Church, our Country and our World.
What are the Cenacles of the Marian Movement of Priests?
Cenacles of the Marian Movement: "Cenacle" is a word for the upper room where Jesus' apostles gathered together in prayer with his Mother Mary, and the Holy Spirit powerfully descended upon them. It was during this original Pentecost that the Catholic Church was born.
The Blessed Mother is calling all of us to prayer in cenacle with her, where we will receive the precious gift of the Holy Spirit. The cenacles are truly a powerful weapon in Our Lady's hands.
The message below from our Blessed Mother, is from the The book, "To the Priests, our Lady's Beloved Sons," which contains all the messages which Father Gobbi received from her between 1973 and 1997 through interior locutions.
"By means of my Marian Movement of Priests, Consecration to my Immaculate Heart, willed and requested by me, has now been made in every part of the earth. Thus I have been able to form for myself the cohort of my little children, with which I will bring to completion my greatest victory.
Father Gobbi was born on March 22, 1930 in Italy and died on June 29, 2011. The cause for his canonization has recently been officially opened.
