Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration (PEA) - adoration of Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week - is a gift beyond price for our parish and community. Started October 16, 1994 in the Parish Office Chapel, PEA at Saint Matthew's is dedicated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We celebrate in thanksgiving the prayers answered and testimonies of lives
changed, many of which are recorded in binders just outside the chapel doors. All are invited to make a holy hour before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. The Two Hearts Adoration Chapel is located in the Parish Office - which formerly served as the parish convent for the Felician Franciscan Sisters.
"Come all who find life burdensome and I will refresh you for my yoke is easy and my burden light"(Matthew 11:28, 30).
