Are You Truly Happy?
Life is a never-ending search for fulfillment, happiness and peace. We look for it in our families, careers and wealth. But the truth is, fulfillment, happiness, and peace can only be found in Jesus. "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you." (John 14:27)Man is both body and soul. As the body needs food to survive, so too does the soul. God placed the soul in us. He alone can nourish it. "The Lamb on the throne will shepherd us and lead us to springs of life giving water." (Revelations 7:17)
Come aside and rest awhile in His presence. You will find the food to nourish the soul and to understand the true meaning of fulfillment, happiness and peace.
"This is my body."
"For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible. For those who believe, no explanation is necessary."(Matthew 18:20) Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Saint John Chrysostom said that He is even there with us in His robe and sandals. The Church invites you to come and experience His miraculous presence during Eucharistic Adoration as a continuation of His presence in the Mass. As we are always in need of committed scheduled adorers, please prayerfully consider spending an hour with Jesus in Adoration. For further information please email [email protected].
Adoration at St. Laurence Catholic Church
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is a vigil of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament exposed in a monstrance. St. Laurence parishioners unite in making a continuous adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in our Chapel of Divine Mercy. Adorers commit themselves to one or more hours a week. During exposition, the Blessed Sacrament should never be left alone. It is thus necessary that a person be scheduled for a specific hour once a week. If you feel you can make a commitment of one hour a week or be on a list of substitutes, please email [email protected].

Hours Currently NeededMondaysThe first commandment is to love God. What better way to love God than to spend time with Him in the chapel? The Vatican and the Archdiocese guidelines for Eucharistic Exposition require 2 or 3 persons to be present at all times. Thus we strive to always have two committed adorers at every hour.
"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Our Fathers say...
"To visit the Blessed Sacrament is.... a proof of gratitude, an expression of love,
and a duty of adoration towards Christ our Lord"
Paul VI, MF 66
"...in the evening, even when I get distracted and think of other things, or even
fall asleep praying. In the evening then, between seven and eight o’clock, I stay
in front of the Blessed Sacrament for an hour in adoration."
Pope Francis
"I throw myself at the foot of the Tabernacle like a dog at the foot of his Master."
St. John Vianney
"The Blessed Sacrament is indeed the stimulus for us all, for me as it should be
for you, to forsake all worldly ambitions. Without the constant presence of our
Divine Master upon the altar in my poor chapels, I never could have persevered
casting my lot with the lepers of Molokai; the foreseen consequence of which
begins now to appear on my skin, and is felt throughout the body. Holy Communion being the daily bread of a priest, I feel myself happy, well pleased, and resigned
in the rather exceptional circumstances in which it has pleased Divine Providence
to put me."Blessed Fr. Damien, Apostle of the Lepers
"God dwells in our midst, in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar."
St. Maximilian Kolbe
