Saint Mary Magdalen - Adoration Chapel

Saint Mary Magdalen Parish has a dedicated Adoration Chapel for those who seek to draw nearer to the Lord’s friendship in a very personal way. He is there for us in the Blessed Sacrament, to bestow on us every grace from His Sacred Heart—graces upon our families and loved ones, graces upon every aspect of our personal lives, from the most joyous to the most troubling. Jesus in all of His power and love for us is nearer than ever before in the meekest appearance of the Holy Eucharist. If you desire Him, and if you seek His gifts and blessings; but most of all, if you seek His company, all it takes is a visit. He is waiting for you, to give you all. 

The Adoration Chapel is open 6 days a week from Monday thru Saturday from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm for registered adorers.  Public access will be Monday thru Friday during parish office hours (8:30 am to 4:00 pm). 

The Adoration chapel is part of the parish office building behind the historic Chapel where the Latin Mass occurs.  There is a separate access door to the chapel.  See map for location.

Divine Mercy Novena Starts Good Friday

The Divine Mercy Novena runs from Good Friday to the Vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday (Sunday after Easter). 

Jesus asked that the Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena to the Divine Mercy which would begin on  Good Friday.  He gave St. Faustina an intention to pray for on each day of the Novena, saving for the last day the most difficult intention of all, the lukewarm and indifferent of whom He said:  "These souls cause Me more suffering than any others; it was from such souls that My soul felt the most revulsion in the Garden of Olives. It was on their account that I said: 'My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass Me by.' The last hope of salvation for them is to flee to My Mercy." 

In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus told her:  "On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy ... On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls."
