Marytown Online Adoration Chapel
At the very heart of Marytown is Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, considered one of the most beautiful pilgrimage sites in the nation. The Chapel has been a sanctuary of perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament since 1928.
The Chapel is open to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for Eucharistic Adoration and prayer. Marytown serves the spiritual needs of a broad community of people—locally and nationally—through our Adoration apostolate, Masses, frequent confession schedule, catechesis and spiritual retreats.
Marytown’s chapel was commissioned in 1926 following the International Eucharistic Congress in Chicago. Chicago’s Cardinal Mundelein felt a permanent sanctuary of Eucharistic Adoration should be established to commemorate the event and to pray for seminarians and priestly vocations.
