Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration
Our perpetual adoration chapel is now open again! Doors are keycard access only — even daytime adorers need a keycard.
Adorers should sign up for their holy hour at stmatt.weadorehim.com. Through the site, you can sign up for a regular weekly commitment, or just a one-time visit.
If you need assistance creating a We Adore Him account or obtaining a keycard, please contact Joe Taylor at the parish office or send an email to adoration@stmatt.net.
