“I never felt the Lord ‘speak’ to me until one special evening when I was in the depths of concern about business, family and friends. I had always sat inthe back of the chapel. One night, I moved to thefront pew and spoke very directly to the Lord. Needless to say, I have been sitting in the front pew ever since!”
- Starke Irvine (Parishioner, Christ the King)
Over the years that we’ve been going to adoration once a week, we’ve become more able to clear our minds of everyday things and simply be in Christ’s Presence, talk to Him and listen to Him. It has become a spiritual anchor for us.

I started weekly adoration three years ago feeling a call from Jesus to be with Him. It has been a really wonderful experience knowing I am truly with the Lord.
- Emily Smilie (Parishioner, Christ the King)
Ever since the 7th grade when I signed up for weekly adoration, I have always looked forward to the special time to talk and listen to our Father where I have grown closer to Christ. Now three years later, starting the week in the presence of God helps me get through the stress of high school.

It’s so peaceful knowing that you are sitting there with Jesus with His arms wrapped around you...with my husband’s battle with cancer and my son’s call to the seminary, Jesus has been there, hand in hand with us, leading our journey.
