Weekday Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament

The Cathedral opens at 11am Monday through Friday (except on holidays or otherwise as announced), and the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for adoration on the main altar until Noon, before the 12:10pm Mass.  

"In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host. . . . It is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering.”  (Pope Benedict XVI)
