I love Adoration. I’ve never been asked about a sign-up sheet, but I don’t think it would bother me. I’d just tell them what I knew and go back to praying.

There is usually a sheet on a table in the entrance area where people are supposed to write their names and say how long they plan to stay. This helps with planning. It also helps when they have to decide whether or not to continue to allow it - if nobody is signing up, it means no one wants to come.

Yes. Thank you! People may not realize the effort and planning that goes on behind the scenes to provide them with the opportunity to be with Jesus. And I understand the desire of one of the previous posters who would like to be completely alone with Jesus. However, in terms of an adoration chapel, that is a selfish wish.
 
I’m not sure who said it, but he/she said of distracting people during prayer/adoration: "You are being distracted from Jesus by Jesus. I try to keep that in mind when I find someone annoying. 😃
 
I cannot remember who exactly it was (might have been JP the Great), but he/whoever it was said his favorite place to pray was in the subway, where there were distractions galore. It’s simple, if you don’t want to be distracted by other people, go when you know the people in there want to be there…like 3 in the morning. If you have time to sleep, you have time to pray 😉

If someone wants to start a thread with tips about starting Eucharistic Adoration, please PM me and I will join the thread with some of the things we learned as a lay group.

First tip is to meet as a group in a home for prayer. We started meeting together with absolutely no idea of where we could possibly have Adoration. This year is our 17th anniversary.:gopray2:

I can’t even find a place for Adoration. I asked a friend that helps me pass out food after 7am Mass, he said it’s not done hardly anymore. :confused:👍

Actually Eucharistic Adoration is growing.

Here is one list for California, including Palm Springs
acfp2000.com/Chapels/getState.php4?stateid=California

Here is another California list which is divided by area. At the bottom of the page you will have to keep going through the alphabet.
therealpresence.org/chap_fr.htm

Use these websites for a list of all chapels. acfp2000.com/ therealpresence.org/chap_fr.htm

Another way to look for chapels is to use the diocesan directory.

I googled Eucharistic Adoration Chapels. I know there is another list that I have seen, but I cannot find it. Maybe you will have better luck.

In our town, the three Catholic parishes joined together to establish Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration. Also, believe it or not, it is sometimes easier to do 24/7 Perpetual than a single day. Especially in an area where there are third shift workers or retired people. If a Church already has an Adoration day, they may be ready for 24/7.

Here is something I found on this link. ewtn.com/faith/teachings/euchd3.htm

What is the best location for Perpetual Adoration?
The best location for Perpetual Adoration is a small chapel. A chapel can be kept warm economically in the winter. It creates a greater atmosphere for quiet intimacy with the Lord, and people generally feel more secure in a smaller place. If the church does not have a chapel, any small room can be converted into one such as an altar boys’ sacristy, a crying room, a room in the rectory, convent, or parish center, are all suitable locations for a Perpetual Adoration chapel with proper security measures taken into consideration.

Thank you so much grannymh
It’s been so long, I can’t wait to go again.
God bless

We have daily Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction, from 7 AM to 5 PM (the end of the first Mass of the day, and the beginning of the last Mass of the day.) The church is run by a Jesuit community, and there is always a priest or a brother in the church. There are also a couple of regulars who stay for hours. Jesus is never left alone outside the tabernacle.

We do not have a sign-up sheet.

You receive exactly the same spiritual benefit praying before the Tabernacle when the Blessed Sacrament is reposed inside. No difference. That means that any parish is a potential location for a holy hour.
