Perpetual Adoration Chapel

Saints Cosmos & Damien Adoration Chapel

At St. Paul’s, we are blessed to have a Perpetual Adoration Chapel where the Blessed Sacrament is present at all times (except during Masses). 

We have many volunteers who are present each day praying and worshiping Jesus. Because we have this special blessing in our parish, Adoration can be a central and frequent expression of devotion for our parishioners.  Please consider adopting a time slot to spend in adoration - see details below.

The Chapel is located on the Pine St. side of the office and is open to those who wish to spend time with the Lord.  If you are interested, please contact the Parish Office for additional details.
