Not in Symbol, Not in Sign
Not in symbol, not in sign,
But in very Presence near,
God Incarnate, Man Divine,
Under form of bread and wine,
Jesus Christ Himself is here.
Priest and Sacrifice remaining,
By the priests whom He doth send,
Christ to God, o'er all things reigning
Offers up HImself, obtaining
My salvation to the end.
Therefore I my heart upraising,
Kneel this Sacrament before,
Contemplate His love amazing
And with saints and angels praising,
On the altar Christ adore.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
When on earth we end our days,
Not to us, but Thine the merit,
That Thy Kingdom we inherit,
Through this sacrifice of praise.
-Caroline F. Little

The time you spend with the Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth.
- Saint Teresa of Calcutta
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is continuous prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. It is an expression of our love for Jesus. The Host, the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus is placed in a Monstrance and honored with the worship of adoration. Adorers make a commitment to spend an hour before the exposed consecrated Eucharist. Adoration is continuous seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day except for a brief period at the end of lent, termed, Triduum, when the Eucharist is reposed.
The Holy Family Adoration Chapel is open to everyone, and all are welcome to visit and pray anytime and for as long as you want. Know that you will never be alone as there will always be scheduled adorers present around the clock! The chapel was founded by Father Jeffrey Ingham with the permission of Raleigh Bishop Joseph F. Gossman. Perpetual Adoration began on Pentecost Sunday, June 3, 1995. Our present chapel location was dedicated by Bishop Gossman on March 19, 1997.Our Adoration Chapel at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church is so blessed to be surrounded by a beautiful Grotto of the Blessed Mother and our Church. It is also unique in that our deceased, beloved friends and family members are interred in our Columbarium which is located next to the Grotto. This area is truly Holy Grounds!
