Acknowledgement that, because the whole Christ is really present in the Blessed Sacrament, he is to be adored in the Eucharist as the Incarnate God. Exposition of the Eucharist for Adoration is available at St. Philip Neri Parish after morning Mass or Liturgy of the Word (during the school year) most Thursdays from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. either in the main sanctuary or the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. Always check Mass schedule.

Volunteers for the Prayer Network pray daily for and with those in our faith community who are experiencing life-threatening illness. In addition to private prayer, participation at daily Mass, monthly Prayer Network Mass, Adoration, Morning Prayer and Rosary are encouraged. When a name is submitted for prayer, the coordinator activates a telephone chain of approximately sixty members to pray for the person who is ill.
