The Chapel is open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Please note that the Adoration Chapel will close from 8:00 p.m. on Holy Thursday and will reopen at 6:00 a.m. on Easter Sunday.

This is a little piece of heaven on earth.  We all need the Lord's prescience I our lives in all that we do.  If you are in need of a quiet moment after the hustle and bustle of work, or to reenergize after a hectic day at home with the family, or to simply spend time in prayer and contemplation in a peaceful and love-filled environment, the chapel of Adoration at St. John Fisher is that place.  In Eucharistic Adoration you come face to face with Jesus  and enter into a truly personal relationship with Him.  He is there in the Blessed Sacrament to lavish us with His love, graces, joy, consolation, strength and peace.

We as Catholics believe that Jesus is truly present in the Holy Eucharist body, blood, soul and divinity.  When we expose Him in the monstrance for adoration, it is truly Him that we see face to face with the eyes of faith.

In the Garden of Olives Jesus asked his apostles "Could you not watch one hour with me" as he went into His agony pleading for an hour of company and friendship. 

This same invitation Jesus extends to us today.  

 The time we spend with the Lord in Eucharistic Adoration cannot but transform us and make us more open to the needs of the world and neighbours.  The blessings and graces we receive after each hour with Him radiates to the world around us, be it in our family, at work, or in our relationships.

As St. John Paul II wrote:

"Closeness to the Eucharistic Christ in silence and contemplation does not distance us from our contemporaries but, on the contrary, makes us open to human joy and distress, broadening our hearts on a global scale. Through adoration the Christian mysteriously contributes to the radical transformation of the world and to the sowing of the gospel. Anyone who prays to the Eucharistic Saviour draws the whole world with him and raises it to God."

 (Letter to the Bishop of Liege, Reported in L'Osserv. Romano, 1996)

And Pope Francis:

"This evening I am united to all of you in praying the Holy Rosary and in Eucharistic adoration under the gaze of the Virgin Mary. ... In the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Mary says to us: "Look at my son Jesus, keep your gaze fixed on him, listen to him, speak with him. He is gazing at you with love. Do not be afraid! He will teach you to follow him and to bear witness to him in all that you do, whether great and small, in your family life, at work, at times of celebration. He will teach you to go out of yourself and to look upon others with love, as he did. He loved you and loves you, not with words but with deeds"."

How does one spend an hour before Jesus exposed in the Blessed Sacrament?
You may wish to bring your own prayer books, use the books in the chapel, read the Bible, pray the rosary, talk to Jesus one on one sharing with Him your troubles or giving thanks for blessings or prayers answered, or quite simply sit and relax and enjoy the sweet peace that comes from simply being in the Presence of God. Perhaps you feel that you cannot pray well. Do not be discouraged. The mere fact that you take time out at a specific time each week to spend an hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament pleases Him very much and is in itself a prayer of great faith
