Why Eucharistic Adoration?

Jesus made this very clear again when he appeared to St Margaret Mary.
I have a burning desire to be honoured in the Blessed Sacrament.

• It leads to greater holiness - Jesus gives us His graces through Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
• It builds a personal relationship with Jesus and creates a new enthusiasm in people to spend more time in prayer.
• It helps to establish a community of love.
• It helps to make reparation for all the indifference and offence caused to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
• It showers graces and blessing on our parishes and communities.
• It strengthens belief in the Real Presence.
• It is an established fact that where Jesus is worshipped and adored in the Blessed Sacrament vocations flourish.

How should one go about getting Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration established in one's Parish?

• Pray to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament to obtain this great grace for your parish.
• Meet with others in your parish that share your desire to have Eucharistic Adoration started.
• Do everything with the knowledge, permission and support of your parish priest. Make him aware of the interest in Adoration.
• Ask Him to invite a representative of the Apostolate of Eucharistic Adoration to have a chat about the possibility of launching Adoration in the parish during Sunday masses.

Presenting and organising Eucharistic Adoration in a Parish

At the invitation of the parish priest a representative of the Apostolate will visit the parish to meet the priests and some key lay people. A meeting will be held in the parish the week following the launch of Adoration to put the programme of Adoration in place.

What is the best location for Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration

A separate side chapel is most desirable as it provides for quietness and intimacy, which is not disturbed by other liturgical ceremonies. Such a chapel is easy to keep heated during the winter months. A former mortuary chapel, crying room or altar server's sacristy can often be suitably converted.

Does Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration place extra work on its Priests?

No.
Eucharistic Adoration does not add to the heavy workload of priests.
A representative of the Apostolate will attend the parish and set in place the structure of the parish Adoration programme and explain in detail everything necessary for its success. Ongoing backup is available to the local committee from the Diocesan and National Organisation.

All organisational responsibilities rest with the local committee who make sure that there are people available at all times during the period of Adoration. The leader of the Parish Adoration Committee keeps the parish clergy informed.
