12-Hour Adoration begins Thursday, August 24
Day and night, Jesus dwells in the Blessed Sacrament because you are the most important person in the world to him!
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Thursdays from 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM
Holy Family Center Chapel
75 Stewart Street, Athens
It was not just an empty promise when Jesus said, "I will be with you all days, even to the end of the world." He meant that He would be with us as our spiritual food in the Eucharist and in the tabernacle as our friend. The Eucharist is the Sacrament of Jesus' love for us. Mother Teresa observed, "When we look at the cross, we know how much Jesus loved us. When we look at the tabernacle, we know how much Jesus loves us now."
Check the schedule and sign up to be an adorer or an alternate here.
Even if you cannot commit to a set time each week but have a few moments to spare here and there, consider spending even 15 minutes with our Lord in adoration! -
