Perpetual Adoration

Perpetual Adoration is continuous prayer before the real presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. The consecrated Body of Christ is placed in the center of a special sacred vessel called a monstrance in our adoration chapel for 24 hours, 7 days a week. Jesus is thus available for ANYONE who wishes to visit and spend time with Him.

The Chapel is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The door is open from 6 am to 10 pm daily. After hours, you will need to obtain the access code from the Rectory Office.

Six candles burn perpetually around the Blessed Sacrament in the Adoration Chapel to serve as a constant prayer before the Lord who is present in the Blessed Sacrament.

Envelopes for you to have your intentions remembered and prayed for are available in the lobby of the Adoration Chapel. Intentions received are also listed in the Sunday bulletin.

Registered adorers have committed to spend a designated hour once a week in the adoration chapel. They are NOT required to be parishioners or particularly “active” Catholics. They come to feel the peace of Christ, to share their joys and heartaches with the Lord, to pray for friends and family or sometimes just to “be” with God. Whenever the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, there MUST be at least one adorer present to show reverence for the presence of Jesus. Our registered adorers make it possible for the Eucharist to be available 24/7.

Yes, absolutely! Mary calls us ALL to come spend time with her son. YOU decide how long or how often to visit, but by all means, do come and visit.

Consider partnering with another person to cover a particular hour. This means you and your partner sign up as co-adorers for whichever hour works best for you. We also have a software system that allows you to request a substitute by clicking on a link, which notifies many adorers when unexpected conflicts arise.

Another option is to gather a “group” of 3-4 friends and sign up together for a time; you would then have a commitment only once or twice a month. We have many, many regular adorers with ‘challenging’ schedules; most will tell you that their adoration time has become a real priority in their lives.
