What is Eucharistic Adoration?

Eucharistic Adoration is time spent in prayer before Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.

Some come to read scripture, some pray the Rosary, some sit quietly and rest in the Lord’s presence.

There is no required format. You may come for a few minutes or remain for an hour. Whether you are new to Adoration or have prayed this way for years, you are welcome.

"Time spent adoring Jesus is a precious gift to him in a world of busyness, noise, and chaos."

Simply come and pray

First Time Visiting?

If you have never attended Eucharistic Adoration before, you don't need to bring anything or register in advance. Simply enter quietly, genuflect if you are able, and take a seat. You may pray silently, speak to the Lord from your heart, read Scripture, or simply rest in his presence. There is no wrong way to spend time with Jesus. You are welcome here.
Commit to one hour each week to ensure every hour of Adoration is covered

Become a Eucharistic Guardian.

Guardians commit to one consistent hour each week, so the Blessed Sacrament is never left unattended. Guardians are there to “guard” the Eucharist.

When you become a Guardian, you:

  • Choose a weekly hour that works with your schedule.
  • Receive reminders through AdorationPro.
  • May request a substitute through AdorationPro if you are unable to attend.

 

If you feel called to make this commitment, we invite you to use the link below to view available hours and sign up through Adoration Pro as a Guardian or Substitute Guardian. Together, we will keep every hour of Adoration prayerfully filled and Christ at the center of our parish life.

All the essential info

Guardian Handbook

We put together a comprehensive handbook for our Eucharistic guardians (and for those interested in becoming a guardian). Download the handbook today to learn more. 

become a guardian

Sign up to be a guardian.

Guardians are parishioners who commit to spending one dedicated hour each week with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Your “yes” to being present with the Lord is a quiet act of love… one that deepens your own relationship with Christ and strengthens the prayer life of our entire parish. If a weekly commitment isn’t possible, you can still serve as a Substitute Guardian, offering to be contacted when an hour of Adoration needs coverage. Every moment you spend before the Eucharist is a blessing to our parish family and a source of grace for the world.

Use the link below to register through AdorationPro as a Guardian or Substitute Guardian. Together, we’ll keep every hour of Adoration prayerfully filled and Christ at the center of our parish life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Guardians commit to one hour each week until they notify a coordinator that they are stepping down. (See coordinator contact information in the Handbook appendices.)

If there are more than two guardians on your hour, you do not need to find a sub as long as you check with the other guardians to make sure at least two will be there.

To find a sub, log in to AdorationPro using the link and passcode provided by your parish coordinator. If you are unable to secure coverage, contact your parish coordinator for assistance. We always need at least two guardians present.

Please remain until at least two guardians are present. If needed, contact a guardian using the signup sheet or the parish coordinator. (See coordinator contact information in the Handbook appendices.)
