Ministries at Church of St. George

Eucharistic Adoration

Eucharistic Adoration is a Catholic devotion dating back to the early days of the Church.  It involves exposing a consecrated host, the Blessed Sacrament, and allowing people to sit and pray in the presence of Jesus Christ.  During your time with Jesus, you can read and reflect on the readings of the Bible, pray the rosary, Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, converse with God or just sit in His presence and listen.
For information about the Eucharistic Adoration, please contact Jean Kottemann at 763.458.1591. 

Adoration is in the Chapel on Monday/Wednesday/Thursday.
