FAQ

How does Perpetual Adoration work at OLPH?

When the Chapel opened in April 2016, we hoped to have enough committed Adorers to begin Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration. To make sure that all time slots are filled, we will begin taking sign-ups for Wednesday-Saturday, and then once those hours are filled, we will open up Monday-Tuesday, and then Saturday-Sunday.

FAQ

Do I have to be a parishioner at OLPH to sign up as an Adorer?

No. In fact, we need people from all of the neighboring parishes to help us, since our Perpetual Adoration Chapel will serve the entire region. The more people that sign up to be an Adorer, the more quickly we will be able to expand to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

FAQ

Why does there need to be two Adorers for every hour? 

The Church requires two Adorers to ensure that the Blessed Sacrament receives the proper reverence and care that the Blessed Sacrament demands. Because it really is Jesus, the Church wants to make sure that the Blessed Sacrament is never left unattended during Eucharistic Adoration. Having two Adorers serves as a safety in case one Adorer is running...
