What is Adoration?
Perpetual Adoration is a Eucharistic devotion whereby parishioners unite in taking hours of adoration before the Most Blessed Sacrament both during the day and throughout the night, seven days a week. There are 168 hours in a week. At Holy Name parish, we offer Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Monday through Thursday, from 8am to 8pm each day.
Why do we Adore?
To give Him thanks for our redemption and to make reparation for our sins and the sins of mankind; of petitioning the good God for the constant help we need.
To show our gratitude to our Lord for remaining among us in our tabernacles, and to make at least some atonement for the many sacrileges, indifferences, and ingratitude which He receives in His Sacrament of Love.

How Does One Spend an Hour?
This hour Jesus wants you to spend with Him is spent any way you want. You may bring your own prayer books, use the books in the chapel, read the Bible, pray the rosary, or just sit and relax and enjoy the sweet peace that comes from simply being in the Presence of God. You may feel that you can't pray well. Don't let this discourage you. The mere fact that you take time out at a specific time each week to spend an hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament pleases Him very much and is in itself a prayer of great faith.
