Eucharistic Adoration Chapel | |

Within the quiet of our hearts, we find God.
Within the whisper of our souls, He speaks.
We, at Curé of Ars, have a wonderful place to come before Jesus in prayer and thanksgiving. It is our beautiful Adoration Chapel. Here Jesus calls us to intimacy in sacred friendship and love. He longs for our presence before Him. He beckons to us, “Come and see” (Jn 1:39). This invitation is for you. Will you spend a holy hour with Jesus?
Many hours are currently open in the Adoration Chapel. Have you considered an offering of your time? The schedule is now online at https://cureofars.com/adults-eucharistic-adoration. Or you can contact Lisa at 913.558.1187 or email her at lisawhi@gmail.com
Come when you can, leave when you must,
and may God bless you on your comings and goings.
