In Eucharistic Adoration we come before the Lord in silent prayer open to listen to him who is present among us. Pope Francis reminded us of the importance of adoration when at the International Eucharistic Congress in Budapest he said: “Dear brothers and sisters, let us allow our encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist to transform us, just as it transformed the great and courageous saints… Let us allow Jesus the Living Bread to heal us of our self-absorption, open our hearts to self-giving, liberate us from our rigidity and self-concern, free us from the paralysing slavery of defending our image, and inspire us to follow him wherever he would lead us.”

Adoration and prayer are central to all that we do as a parish, the prayer will be the powerhouse for our future parish development.
