Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Ministry is the MOST rewarding of all! One gets to spend precious quality time with Our Lord Jesus Christ – present in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Adoration Chapel which is open 24/7 and welcomed to everyone! PABS officially started on October 2, 1998 on the Feast of the Guardian Angels. We have approximately 150 adorers who have committed to spending at least an hour or more with Our Eucharistic Lord on a weekly basis. The Committee meets monthly to work on different activities (i.e, Divine Mercy Sunday (March or April), Corpus Christi Procession (in June w/Bishop), PABS Anniversary/Adorer’s Day of Recollection (in October) & Christ the King Procession (in November).
We also go on retreats and/or have guest speakers give inspirational talks to our Committee about the awesome benefits/rewards of Adoring our Eucharistic Lord in the Monstrance. Registration forms are located on 2nd shelf of cabinet in Chapel and drop off box on same shelf. Won’t you consider spending one hour with Our Lord? You will be so blessed!
Testimonies:
“The Adoration Chapel is my sanctuary. For one hour (and sometimes more), I am at peace and closer to Our Lord than at any other time of the day. He is my friend and confidante. I talk to Him about my day or week and offer my thanks and prayers and pray the rosary. There is a line in Psalm 46 that I think about a lot when I am in chapel: “Be still and know that I am God.” It’s quite powerful. So sometimes, I would just sit quietly, close my eyes, and let His love surround me. In the words of a beautiful hymn: “Come, let us adore.” - Gloria Sabado
“A few years ago, I asked two special young women to join me to pray 40 days in the adoration chapel. It was lent. Although we prayed separately in the chapel, I believe praying for the same intention made it powerful. “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” ~Matthew 18:20. In the adoration chapel Jesus literally IS present! Of course our prayer intention was answered. Like Jesus in his parables, the answer was a bit perplexed but in the end was for His purpose and glory. We have gathered in the chapel together many times more when our schedules allowed. Jesus had other plans of His own. He created this little prayer group. And our journey has kept us together and continues to commit us to pray 9, 30 and 54 day novenas. Although we are many and even thousands of miles apart, the intensity and sincerity of our prayers remain the same like in the adoration chapel. The image of Jesus in the monstrance is burned in our hearts.” - Rose Sumida
