Construction beginning 2026

These renderings are conceptual visualizations intended to illustrate the general design and character of the chapel. Final construction details, materials, proportions, and finishes may vary slightly as the project is refined through the architectural and building process.

St. Mary's Chapel of Perpetual Adoration

A chapel of perpetual Eucharistic adoration, where weary souls encounter the tender, transforming gaze of Christ truly present—body, blood, soul, and divinity—in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Our vision: a sacred sanctuary of unending prayer, fostering unity, awe, and profound spiritual renewal for all who enter, day and night.

Through this Gala Fundraiser, unite with us to sustain this beacon of divine love and reparation.
