Eucharistic Adoration is of inestimable value for the life of the Church. It allows the faithful an
opportunity to pray face to face with Jesus; to share their prayers of joy, happiness, pain and hope
in front of our Blessed Lord.
Eucharistic Adoration takes place weekly at the following times in the Chapel:
- Every Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
So that all may adore Our Lord without distraction, please consider the following:
- Because the Eucharist is exposed, genuflect and make the sign of the cross upon entering the Lord's presence.
- Be mindful of proper, respectful attire.
- No talking within the chapel.
- No spontaneous, unscheduled events or sermonizing is allowed.
- No public prayers or devotions
- No personal devotional items, such as statues, icons or candels.
- No food or drink is allowed in the chapel.
- All cell phones must be set on vibrate or silent.
- MP3, CD or other audio devices are not allowed.
Q: Where is adoration held?
A: Adoration is held in the chapel on the north side of St. Mark's parish.
Q: Do I need a key card to get into the chapel?
A: Although during adorations someone may be at the door, it is recommended that you
obtain a key card prior to coming to adoration in order to access the chapel.
Q: How to I become an Adorer?
A: If you would like to volunteer to become an Adorer for adoration, please contact Michael Binggeli at michael.binggeli@gmail.com or 913-207-5825
Q: What do I do for an hour?
A: Some people feel that since they aren't sure what to do for an hour, they simply don't come.
You can do serveral things during the hour to make a successful adoration. The first thing is the fact you are present
with Jesus. You can pray the Rosary, pray silent intentions, read the Bible or other great Catholic magazines, read a book
or simply just sit in quiet and reflect.

- "It is pleasant to spend time with him, to lie close to his breast like the Beloved Disciple (cf. Jn 13:25) and to feel the infinite love present in his heart.
If in our time Christians must be distinguished above all by the “art of prayer”, how can we not feel a renewed need to spend time in spiritual converse, in
silent adoration, in heartfelt love before Christ present in the Most Holy Sacrament? How often, dear brother and sisters, have I experienced this, and drawn
from it strength, consolation and support!" - Pope John Paul II
-
“Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest after the sacraments,
the one dearest to God and the one most helpful to us”. -
St. Alphonsus Liguori
-
“In the course of the day the faithful should not omit visiting the Blessed Sacrament, which in
accordance with liturgical law must be reserved in churches with great reverence in a prominent place.
Such visits are a sign of gratitude, an expression of love and an acknowledgment of the Lord's presence”
- Pope Paul VI
