How to Have 24 Hour Eucharistic Adoration at a Church

Spending an hour a week in Eucharistic Adoration is a great way to increase your faith and help you with your prayer life. However, your church may not have Eucharistic Adoration at a time convenient for you. If this is the case, perhaps you could have Perpetual Adoration at your church.

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

1. Begin by speaking to the priest regarding 24 hour Eucharistic Adoration. Not every priest may be wild about the idea of the Host being constantly exposed. Be sure to have the blessing of your priest before you continue.

2. Find a place to have 24 hour Eucharistic Adoration. Many Catholic Churches have separate chapels specifically for smaller services. This could be a perfect place for 24 hour Eucharistic Adoration. You could also have the Host placed in a separate room or just have it remain in the church, only exposed.

3. Speak to parishioners about 24 hour Eucharistic Adoration. Remember that the Eucharist should never be left alone. Therefore, you're going to have to find people to sit with the Host in the middle of the night as well as holidays.

4. Have your priest make an announcement about the 24 hour Eucharistic Adoration during Mass. This is a great way to get the word out about Perpetual Adoration at your church. You could also place an announcement in the weekly bulletin.

5. Create a sign-up sheet for Eucharistic Adoration. A sign-up sheet can help you and Adorers keep track of which hours are available and which are empty.

6. Have a list of phone numbers full of substitute Adorers. This is necessary in the event that a Adorer either cannot make it or simply doesn't show up to Eucharistic Adoration. With this list, you can ensure that the Host will never be left alone.
