Adoration Chapel

For over twelve years, Saints Peter and Paul has hosted Area Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in the beautiful Our Lady of Loretto chapel. Night and day, parishioners from Saints Peter and Paul, Saint Anne's in Hamel and Saint Thomas in Corcoran participate in adoration, which enables our chapel to remain open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!

As part of our parish mission to strengthen the faith of our youth and to foster their love for our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, our High School students pray at adoration together once a month as part of their High School Gathering program.

If you would like to sign up to be a committed adorer and guardian of the Eucharist for one hour each week, call our parish office at 763-479-0535 or Carol Tabery at 763-479-2791.

"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."

- Pope John Paul II

Eucharistic Miracles of the World at Saints Peter and Paul, November, 2008

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Area Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration, Saints Peter and Paul hosted the International Vatican Exhibit on the Eucharistic Miracles of the World. This world-class display contains 142 panels illustrating the many times throughout history when Our Lord, truly present in the Eucharist, revealed Himself to His flock, to strengthen our faith and to bring comfort to His people.

One of the most famous miracles took place in Lanciano, Italy, more than a thousand years ago. Lanciano is just 100 miles south of our namesake, Loreto, Italy. In the seventh century, a Basilian monk was suffering through an experience that is perhaps familiar to many today: He doubted the meaning of Christ's words, as recorded in chapter six of the Gospel of John, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him" (vv. 53-56).

One morning as he was saying mass, Christ offered him a miracle that would remove every doubt for this struggling priest and for millions of others. As he said the words of consecration, the host turned to flesh, and began to bleed in his hands. Present as witnesses were not the rich, nor the holiest people, but the poor, the sinners, those most in need of the consolation of divine mercy!
