My Parish has Perpetual Adoration and I am the guardian Monday 2am-3am. I absolutely love this hour and look forward to it all week. At such an odd time of the week I am usually all alone during this hour. It is a powerful experience to be alone with Christ in complete silence...its amazing the range of emotions I feel. Even my traffic free drive to my church is special. I have been doing this for 1.5 years and I can't imagine that I will ever stop, it has become to important to my life and my prayer life outside of adoration has increased and I can see the fruits.

Yes, we have had perpetual adoration for 15+ years.

I go Sunday, 11:00 PM to midnight and am an hourly coordinator. If someone who has that hour on another day is sick or has car trouble, they call me and I call those on the substitute list or just go myself.

Actually, I go all the time. I usually pray Morrning Prayer from Liturgy of the Hours in adoration.

Yes,I am a commited adorer.Mon.2:00-3;00p.m. Typically I will begin my hour by reciting the Divine Love Prayer,which is a series of recitations such as"Eucharist heart of Jesus,I beleive in your Real Presence,and I praise you in union with all the saints and the nine choir of angels" Eucharist Heart of Jesus,I trust in you,etc..Then I will recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet,followed by the rosery.I would really like to get to the point,where I can sit and be still in Our Lord,somehow I feel I have to be doing something....

No we don't have it and quite honestly, I am glad we don't. So I didn't vote, there wasn't one that matched.

We do offer Adoration on 1st Fridays. And it is like pulling teeth to get enough people to sign up.

For Perpetual Adoration, you would need at least 336 adorers. Plus people to organize it and run it. I know what it is like to get people to volunteer to bring in a batch of cupcakes for VBS. We would never get the people we needed for Adoration.

Yes, it is a major challenge. Even at our large parish it is not able to be done 24/7.

We have perpetual adoration at our parish. I attend late Friday night/early Saturday morning. I am more at peace when I am there than at any other time during the week.

All parishes in our diocese have Adoration one day per month. Many, including mine, has it for 24-hours. Thus there is Adoration someplace in the diocese at all times.

My parish also has Adoration from Friday morning to Saturday morning every week.

These are in the Adoration Chapel. We have recently added Adoration in the main Church from the end of the 6am mass to the start of the 9 am mass MTWTF.
