 * Please note, regarding Praying in the Church:
If Father has been called away from the premises, then the Church will be locked to secure the Blessed Sacrament, in accordance with Church Law.

Also, the above are times for Eucharistic Adoration.  This is distinct from Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Times for Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament will be announced publicly so that as many of the faithful can gather for these special times of more intense veneration of the Holy Eucharist.

The regularly-scheduled times mentioned above are so that the faithful may know when they may make their ordinary visits to adore Our Lord in the tabernacle.

Please remember, the lit Sanctuary Lamp in the Church indicates that the Holy Eucharist, Our Lord's Real Presence, is actively being reserved in the tabernacle on our main altar.

Why, yes, there is! And, Thanks for asking.
