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.

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
How many Adorers are needed for each hour?
There must be two Adorers for every hour: “Every effort should be made to ensure that there should be at least two people present. There must absolutely never be periods when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, and there is no one present for adoration.
FAQ
Why does there need to be two Adorers for every hour?

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...
