Wisdom from St Catherine of Siena
I pray this finds you and your loved ones well and safe during this time of pandemic. We have been and will continue to keep you in our heartfelt prayers before our Eucharistic Lord. Let us pray to St Catherine of Siena whose feast day was yesterday, April 29 and who is with us and will indeed intercede for us and let us take her as a model on this journey toward heaven.
Behold Your Mother – Maria Advocata
An oral tradition recounts that St. Gregory the Great carried this icon in procession during the plague, and that he was granted a vision of the Archangel Michael over the Castel San Angelo stopping the plague. She is the perfect advocate for us today.
Pilgrimage to Medjugorje
In light of the current and continuing Covid19 crisis. Regretfully we cannot continue with our plans for a pilgrimage on May 26th and I believe it is more expedient for everyone that we make this decision now, before we reach the deadline for registration on April 13th.

The Church’s renewal starts with the Eucharist
Yet we can never lose sight that our times, however darkened, are also illuminated – until the Lord’s return – by the Holy Eucharist, that is, the perpetuation of the Sacrifice of the Cross and the Real Presence of Jesus Christ among us.
How Adoration can Rescue the Church
The call to adore the Lord is an antidote to the noise of the world and the Church’s most powerful weapon.
New Eucharistic Saint!
St. Manuel felt called to the priesthood at the age of 12. After his ordination in 1901, he was sent to preach at a church which he found to be unclean and abandoned. There, praying before a Tabernacle covered in dust and cobwebs, with torn altar cloths and oil dripping onto the floor from the sanctuary lamp, he decided to dedicate his life to providing for Jesus’ needs in the Tabernacle. This poor, abandoned Tabernacle taught the young priest more about the Love of Jesus than his years of theological study. It marked his entire life from that moment. He dedicated himself until his death to spreading devotion to the Eucharist, proclaiming these words which he would go on to choose for his epitaph: “Jesus is here! He is here! Do not abandon Him!” This saintly bishop will help you to receive Holy Communion more fervently and to love Jesus more deeply in Eucharistic Adoration. This book will awaken you to a new experience of Our Lord — that you may see, hear, love, and console “Love who is not loved.”
Testimonials
Here are a few of the testimonials we have received from people describing their experience of the Lord in Adoration
“I look forward to my Adoration time. For sixty minutes I sit face to face with my best friend, Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Despite challenging and questionable life events, I give thanks for all Jesus has done for me, my family, and friends. During these days of turmoil around the world, I pray for peace—peace in our hearts, as well as for our country and our world. I pray for our beloved priests, for without them there would be a huge void. Over the past couple of years, I have found peace and joy during Adoration, which has helped me in unexpected ways. No matter where I go for Adoration, it is the same Jesus who meets me.”
I Have Found Peace and Joy“My life is so busy and chaotic these days. Spending time with Jesus one on one is the most important thing I can do outside of Mass. I need the quiet time. I need the one on one attention. I need and crave His love and His look. I need His acceptance of my misery. Mostly these days I need His strength and His courage and His graces. I just need to be in HIS REAL PRESENCE. I just need to sit with Him and allow Him to form me and to change me. I just need to show up and trust whatever He wants to give me. And it is always His Mother, my Mother, our Blessed Mother, who leads me to Him.”
I just need to be in HIS REAL PRESENCE“Lost & Found – I was empty, sad, lonely, looking for love & acceptance. I was enslaved to please others and my awareness of God grew very dim. My efforts to win their approval exhausted me! Then I found ADORATION…My heart was instantly filled with love, joy and peace without any expectations. I have found the rays of TRUST & MERCY. I continue to return weekly to Adoration for a fill up! Thank You, God.”
