We began all-day Eucharistic Adoration on Friday, May 8, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. Thank you to all those who signed up to make it possible. Adoration requires at least two people present during each time block. This provides the essential presence needed to keep the doors of grace open for all others in the entire community and beyond. Choosing one weekly dedicated hour ensures the Blessed Sacrament is never left alone.
“Could you not watch one hour with me?” asked the Lord, for in that single hour of faithful companionship, He pours out the peace of His presence and transforms your soul far more than any earthly labor ever could. “When we are before the Blessed Sacrament, instead of looking about us, let us shut our eyes and open our hearts; and the good God will open His. We will go to Him, and He will come to us, the one to give, and the other to receive.” St John Vianney.
We warmly invite you to spend time in prayer and encounter the presence of Our Lord in our beautiful “A Star on the Mantle of Our Lady, Queen of Peace” monstrance.

Thank you your Grace Cardinal Frank Leo for celebrating Mass and blessing our new Monstrance (December 3, 2023)
HISTORY OF THE MONSTRANCE
Marius Drapikowski was a talented jeweller, an artist and was losing his vision. He visited and was blessed by Pope John Paul II. Shortly after his vision was restored. He made a vow to dedicate his life to using his talents to create sacred art including two series of monstrances: Star on the Crown and Star on the Mantel: both promote global peace through Eucharistic Adoration. He drew his inspiration from the writings of St. Maxmillian Kolbe and the miraculous imagery of Our Lady of Guadalupe. They are part of an international peace initiative led by the Comunità Regina della Pace to establish centers of Eucharistic Adoration around the world for global peace and reconciliation.
