EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Eucharistic Adoration Sacraments Mass Schedule WORSHIP Reconciliation Wednesdays St. Joan of Arc | 5:30 - 7pm The mission of the Eucharistic Adoration ministry is to provide a quiet time and place for prayer in the presence of the Lord’s host, the Eucharist. To re-invigorate adoration in the worldwide church as urged by Pope John Paul II, St. John Newman Parish provides a solemn space for prayer and adoration each week. Persons of all ages are welcome to join in this time of reverence and to experience a close encounter with the Eucharist, which is on the altar during this time. Sometimes described as an opportunity for a deeper encounter with inner beliefs, Adoration can be a time to settle and focus on faith and experience a unique relationship to prayer. To participate in this ministry, join us at our St. Joan of Arc campus to pray during Adoration each Wednesday from 5:30 - 7pm .
