Eucharistic Adoration- At Pensacola Catholic High School, we recognize the value and importance of spending time in the Real Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. As Father John Hardon, S.J. said,
“The center of the whole Catholic liturgy is the Eucharist. The Eucharist is most important in the life of the Church because it is Jesus Christ. It is the incarnation continued in space and time. The other sacraments and all the Church's ministries and apostolates are directed toward the Eucharist.
The word "Eucharist" means "thanksgiving". This is explained by the fact that Christ "gave thanks" when He instituted the Eucharist and this is the supreme act of Christian gratitude to God.
We should worship Jesus in the Tabernacle because He is present there under the appearance of bread and wine as truly as He is in heaven. We should give Him the adoration given to God alone because of His infinite perfection and His supreme domination over all things created. The Church fosters devotion to the Real Presence through public adoration of the Holy Eucharist…”
Twice a month we invite our students, faculty, and parents to join us in Eucharistic Adoration. During this time of intimate prayer with our Lord, we especially ask Jesus to help our young people make responsible decisions, acknowledging always that we are created as one family.
Dates for Adoration will be published each semester both on the Campus Ministry Weblink and the CHS website calendar. Adoration begins at 7:55 a.m. and lasts until 2:35 p.m. Please know that you are welcome to join us for Eucharistic Adoration. If you have any questions, please contact our Campus Minister, Rebecca Carter.

Eucharistic Celebrations – Mass is celebrated for the entire student body on the First Friday of every month and for Holy
Days and other celebrations during the year. Parents are very welcome to join the student body at all liturgical celebrations.

Sacrament of Reconciliation – The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be available at specific times as posted by the Campus Minister, in conjunction with Religion classes, and also at any time by personal request.

Student Days of Recollection – Student Days of Recollection are provided for the spiritual development of each student. A special day is set aside for this spiritual activity. Attendance at the annual class Day of Recollection is mandatory for all students and, for seniors, is a requirement for graduation. Fees covering the cost of the Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior Days of Recollection are collected during Orientation Days in August. The Senior Retreat Fee is collected prior to the retreat.

CHS Religion Service Requirement– CHS graduation requirements include for 9^th and 10^th graders a total of 20 hours of service (it is recommended that students perform 10 hours in each semester course; an annual total of 5 must be at CHS); for 11^th graders a cumulative total of 30 hours including 5 at CHS; for 12^th graders a cumulative total of 40 hours at one volunteer agency plus 5 at Catholic High.
