On behalf of the Divine Mercy Adoration Chapel Committee and the Oshkosh parishes, we thank everyone for praying for resolve to this unsettling situation. The committee is working with the Green Bay Diocese to reopen the chapel in its former location at the Most Blessed Sacrament – St. Mary site with new security measures in place, both for adorers and for the blessed sacrament. New measures align with United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Adoration chapel guidelines.
On February 5, Fr. Jerry Pastors of Most Blessed Sacrament received an anonymous letter from an individual admitting to be the person that had stolen the Eucharist from the chapel in December.
Eucharistic adoration has resumed in the side chapel at St. Peter Catholic Church (435 High Ave). Adoration is available Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm. The Divine Mercy Adoration Chapel remains closed until the investigation is complete and a robust security solution is identified.
A city wide Mass of Reparation will be held at 1:00pm on Sunday, January 14th at the Most Blessed Sacrament St. Mary church. After Mass, we will have a Eucharistic procession and time of adoration with the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3pm, and Benediction at 4pm. All are welcome to attend and experience a Catholic Mass, procession, and adoration.
The evening of Friday, December 29, 2023, the Holy Eucharist was stolen from the Oshkosh Adoration Chapel located at the Most Blessed Sacrament Saint Mary site (605 Merritt Ave).
