Eucharistic Adoration

The worship and custody of the Holy Eucharist, independently of Mass and Holy Communion, can be traced to post-apostolic times. St. Justin, writing in his Apology around the year 150, says that deacons were appointed to carry the Blessed Sacrament to those who were absent from the liturgy. The young St. Tarsisius was taken captive and put to death while carrying the consecrated Species on his person. St. Eudocia, martyred under Trajan, was first permitted to visit her oratory and remove a particle of the Host which she took with her to prison (Fr. John Anthony Hardon, Eucharist Worship and Custody),

Eucharistic Adoration occurs on the First Friday of each month following the 8:00 a.m. Mass.  It concludes with Benediction at 2:00 p.m.

Eucharistic Adoration also occurs on subsequent Tuesdays of the month from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.  However, the Holy Eucharist is not exposed.
