Eucharistic Adoration


Eucharistic Adoration is our response to Jesus’ love, whereby each of us is willing to spend one quiet Holy Hour in His Eucharistic Presence. At Our Lady of the Lake Church, Eucharistic Adoration is available from Monday 7AM around the clock until 2PM on Saturday afternoon. Eucharistic adoration is closed whenever a Mass is taking place, including special events like weddings, funerals and baptisms.


What do I commit to?

You commit to spend the same one hour a week at the Eucharistic Chapel in the presence of the Lord in front of the exposed Blessed Sacrament. Our goal is to have at least two Adorers signed up for each hour in case one person cannot attend their hour. You may sign-up for multiple hours if your schedule permits.


What happens when I have a conflict such as vacations, business trips or illness?

We try to schedule at least two Adorers for each hour. As long as one of you is there, that is fine. If neither of you can be there then optimally you would find a substitute. If not, the Blessed Sacrament must be covered during that hour. 


What if the time slot I want is not available or I am unable to commit to a dedicated hour?

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to utilize the Adoration Chapel during normal church hours listed below:


How do I get into the Chapel?

You can enter the Adoration chapel through the church front doors during the normal church hours listed above. The chapel is located behind the altar in the Sanctuary. If you are a registered parishioner and have signed up for an hour outside of normal church hours, then you can request a fob that will get you into the chapel’s side door.

What should I do when I am in Adoration?

You can pray, do a Rosary, do a chaplet, read faith-based books or just sit and be still. The purpose of Adoration is to grow your relationship with God. Please remember you are in the presence of God, so it is very important to observe a reverent quiet atmosphere. 


What should I do when I am ready to leave and there is no one else in the chapel?

The Blessed Sacrament should never be exposed while not being attended. In this case you would lay the cover over the face of the Monstrance. 


***When attending Adoration, you should not let anyone in through the outside door for your own safety. If it is during normal church hours they can walk around to the front door. If is outside of normal church hours they must have their own key to gain access.
