St. Joseph's Parish established Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration under the guidance and direction of Fr. Joseph O'Hare in 1988 and rededicated ourselves to this beautiful form of prayer and worship under the guidance and direction of Fr. Joseph Illo on March 25, 2001.

We come before Jesus, present in the Blessed Sacrament, with all our hopes, desires and needs. He tells us in Scripture: "Come to Me, all you who labor and find life burdensome, and I will refresh you." (Matthew 11:28.) We pray not only for our own personal needs, but for the needs of our parish, our country and the world. We pray for those who are unable to be present before the Blessed Sacrament. A book of prayer requests is in the Chapel and those with requests are encourage to write their requests and they will be prayed for.

St. Joseph's welcomes you to visit the Blessed Sacrament Chapel anytime, 24 hours a day. The Blessed Sacrament is reposed just before the 8:00am Mass on Sunday morning and exposed again following the 7:30pm Mass on Sunday.

 Coordinators, David & Monica Wood (209)  527-4920
