I’m wondering if anyone is aware of any male religious orders or communities who are not monastic but who have a strong focus on Eucharistic Adoration, maybe doing several hours a day?
 
Thanks, yes I’ve heard of them. And I’m actually from Ireland however I don’t really feel called to monastic life.
 
Aside from a group in Perth, Australia, and Silverstream, I don’t know of any men’s congregations dedicated to perpetual adoration. That was usually relegated to the women.

There were also Mexican Brothers of Perpetual Adoration, who were the male counterpart of the Nuns of Perpetual Adoration.

There in Ireland, the Sisters of Adoration Reparatrice were suppressed due to the members’ age. There’s also the indigenous Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Wexford.

I know in Mexico, there are active congregations of women with perpetual adoration.

Do you feel called to stay in Ireland? (I think you said you were there presently).
 
Who are the community in Australia? I’m open to moving, if I feel God calling me to. Yeah, it’s not the most common charism, surprisingly!
 
There’s a Capuchin Church near me, that advertises 2x daily Holy hours open to the public. I’ve done a quick search on the Capuchins, and Franciscans generally and, at least here in Europe, Adoration seems to be an important part of their Charism & daily life.

Hope this helps!

Peace & Blessings to all!!
 
The contemplative Missionaries of Charity aren’t monastic & do hours of adoration everyday! I believe they have a novitiate in New York if you want to reach out. 💝
 
I completely forgot about the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, the Eymard Fathers! Their female counterpart is contemplative, and the Sisters are Eucharistic Ministers who take communion to Catholics in need. Such an apostolate was foreseen by St Eymard, who originally wanted his Sisters to do that.


Will be back with the other link as soon as possible.
 
I’ve been to many meetings and liturgies at Daylesford. The small group to which I belong of Sisters and Associates in my community used to meet there almost every year.

This is true. It goes all the way back to Saints Francis and Care. However, if the OP is looking for community level adoration daily like some of the monastic communities do, we don’t do it quite like that. It’ll vary house to house and province to province, but in formation once-a-week community adoration isn’t uncommon, often it’s more depending on the phase of formation. After formation, it’s less frequent, because of ministry schedules and other obligations . That said, every house has a chapel with real presence, and many if not most friars will spent a significant time of personal prayer in the chapel. Community prayer only happens by a couple times a day, but we are supposed to spend considerable more time in prayer on our own. A daily holy hour is quite common, but it’s usually done as more of an individual thing than as a community.
