250 Hours of Adoration

In his encyclical, Dilexit nos, Pope Francis instructs us to “nourish our lives with the strength of the Eucharist” in Holy Communion and Adoration, so that we might understand Christ’s love for all more deeply and live out this love ourselves. Our contemplation of the Sacred Heart leads us deeper into the mystery of our salvation and deeper into our love for Christ found in the faces of our sisters and brothers—especially those most in need. 

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Individuals and parishes can participate in 250 hours of adoration together by offering a Holy Hour on a daily, weekly or monthly basis leading up to the July 4 anniversary. Parishes and communities who already offer regular hours of Adoration will be encouraging more adorers to participate in spending time with the Lord in Adoration. While 250 hours seems like a lot, each person present constitutes an hour prayed. Please use the form below to record your hours. You may submit hours as many times as you like. Shortly after July 4, the Diocese will report on our community participation.
