The Eucharist is the physical Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of the Lord, Jesus Christ, and it is one of seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, whereby bread and wine are completely transubstantiated into the real presence of Christ. During Eucharistic Adoration, the Eucharist is displayed in a monstrance (a vessel used in Roman Catholicism to display the consecrated Eucharist) flanked by candles in which the Blessed Sacrament is exposed and adored by the faithful.

Perpetual Adoration is Eucharistic devotion whereby members of a parish unite in taking hours of adoration before the Most Blessed Sacrament (in most cases, exposed), both during the day and throughout the night, seven days a week.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Divine Mercy Perpetual Adoration Chapel is closed. We long for the day when we can reopen and resume perpetual adoration at St. Matthew. For now, please join us for Adoration of the Exposed Blessed Sacrament in the main Church on Wednesdays and Fridays, 5 pm to 9 pm.
