Here at St. Thomas the Apostle, we have a chapel on the second floor of the Office Complex.  On each Friday, from 8 am until 4 pm, there is the opportunity for our parish family to spend time in the chapel.  We call it “Adoration”.  Basically, you come into the Chapel and spend time with Jesus (the Eucharist is exposed in the Monstrance for everyone to see and “adore”).  What would you do in there?  Well, you can do nothing or you can pray or you can read (we have a bookshelf with inspirational and devotional resources).  You can ask God for favors; you can thank God for blessings.  It is a time for quietness and being still with the Lord.

We presently have a very faithful group that does this every week.  However, if you can commit to spending an hour in Adoration on Fridays, please call Nellie Johnson, 864-6098 or Lydia Trisotto, 863-0127.  It is very important that every hour time slot have at least one person committed so that Jesus will not be left alone.  It is good to have three or four signed up for every hour time slot so that if something happens and one person cannot be there, then we always know that the hour is covered.  If you cannot commit to an hour, please feel free to drop in any time during the hours of Adoration on Fridays.  It is a beautiful thing.
 
Mother Teresa said, “A Holy Hour of Adoration brings everlasting peace to the earth….adoration is the most beautiful thing you could ever think of doing”.
