Our
Lord Jesus is present, body, soul and divinity, in the consecrated Host
present in our tabernacle. It
is, therefore, appropriate for the faithful to offer reverence to the
Blessed Sacrament. In
December of 1977 the diocese of Orange initiated Perpetual Adoration for
our diocese. Saint Hedwig’s
day of adoration is the 16th of each month, beginning right
after morning mass and ending the next morning before mass.
The work of this Ministry is (1) to visit the Blessed Sacrament
exposed on our altar on the 16th, (2) to pray for an increase
in vocations to the priesthood and religious life, and (3) to inform and
encourage our parishioners to come and marvel at our God who loves us so
much.
