The Eucharist is exposed in an ornate gold monstrance. The monstrance is atop a wood altar with gold details and the inscription "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus" (or "Holy, Holy, Holy" in Latin). Two candles are lit on either side of the monstrance. In the distance, adorers can be seen praying in the pews.

40 Hours’ Devotion Signup

Posted on June 7, 2023June 7, 2023 by Administrator

The 40 Hours’ Devotion is when people adore the Eucharist exposed in the monstrance for 40 hours. The number of hours associated with this devotion comes from the time Jesus spent in the tomb before His Resurrection.

Our Eucharistic Lord will be exposed for Adoration here at the Shrine in the lower church from Friday, June 9 at 4:30pm to Sunday, June 11 at 2:00pm. The Eucharist will be exposed, and need to be accompanied at all times. We need adorers to commit to at least one hour during the Devotion to stay with the Eucharist. Please use this form to sign up for time with Jesus!
