St. Mary's Perpetual Adoration Chapel Update
Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Fundraising Gala for St. Mary’s Perpetual Adoration Chapel. Through your incredible generosity, we raised $450,000 toward the construction of the Chapel. We are truly grateful for your support and commitment to this beautiful project.
​
We have exciting news to share: our building permit has been approved, and we have received final site plan approval! Once we complete the remaining approval process with the Archdiocese, we hope to break ground later this year.
​
Please continue to keep St. Mary’s Perpetual Adoration Chapel in your prayers as we move closer to making this dream a reality. May this Chapel become a place where countless souls encounter Our Lord in the Eucharist for generations to come.
​
Thank you again for your generosity and prayers!

Why we pilgrimage
“Before my journey to Rome I had not felt any special devotion to this Saint, but on visiting the house where she was martyred, and on hearing her proclaimed ‘Queen of Harmony’, I felt more than devotion to her; I felt real love as for a friend. She became my chosen patroness as well as the keeper of my most intimate thoughts....”

— St. Thérèse of Lisieux, describing the grace she received at age 14 during her pilgrimage to Rome and her visit to St. Cecilia’s home (The Story of a Soul).
"... I saw splendid monuments; I studied the countless wonders of art and religion; and better than all, I stood on the very soil trodden by the Apostles and bedewed with the blood of Martyrs, and my soul grew strong by contact with those holy things.”
— St. Thérèse of Lisieux, recalling her 1887 pilgrimage to Rome with her father Louis, her sister Céline, and a diocesan group (The Story of a Soul)
Join us on pilgrimage in Lent and spring 2027!
