Adoration

Eucharistic adoration is the adoration of Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. The most common form of Eucharistic Adoration is when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in a special vessel called a Monstrance and placed on the altar so that the faithful can quietly pray in the presence of the Lord. Adoration begins with a liturgical service called Exposition and ends with a liturgical service called Benediction.

Adoration is held at St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Portage on the first Friday of each month from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm.

You can also stop in to Church anytime to and pray before the Eucharist in the Tabernacle. Whenever you see the white Sanctuary candle lit, you know that Jesus is present in the Tabernacle.
