Adoration Chapel (Chapel of the Beloved Disciple) 

A secluded and peaceful room for prayerful devotion. Open Daily from 6:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. The Chapel of the Beloved Disciple entrance is located across from the Cathedral Center back door, to the left of the three-car garage.

The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist is nearing the completion of our first phase of growing our chapel to perpetual adoration! Currently, adoration with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is from 12:00am on Monday through 11:59pm on Friday. The Blessed Sacrament is currently not exposed on weekends.

It is highly fitting that Christ should have wanted to remain present to his Church in this unique way. Since Christ was about to take his departure from his own in his visible form, he wanted to give us his sacramental presence; since he was about to offer himself on the cross to save us, he wanted us to have the memorial of the love with which he loved us "to the end,"(Jn 13:1) even to the giving of his life. In his Eucharistic presence he remains mysteriously in our midst as the one who loved us and gave himself up for us(Cf. Gal 2:20), and he remains under signs that express and communicate this love:
The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease. (John Paul II, Dominicae cenae, 3)
