In August of 2023, Bishop Olson blessed our new Holy Family Oratory, which was designed for prayer and Eucharistic Adoration. The oratory is located on the East side of the property with access from Wildwood Street. It is open daily for prayer from 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM. An access code will be required after 5:30 PM so please contact the church office.
Benediction begins 15 minutes prior to closing exposition. We encourage you to spend time with Jesus, especially during our adoration hours, as it will deepen your relationship with Him. While you adore the Blessed Sacrament, we ask that you maintain quiet – sitting in silence, praying, reading, or listening to spiritual music in headphones. Whether you are a Drop-In, Substitute or Weekly Adorer, we welcome you to this ministry.
Everyone is welcome to adore the Blessed Sacrament, and drop-ins are encouraged to come by the oratory. If you wish, you can check-in at the kiosk as a guest. This will help us understand our attendance patterns for further expansion of Eucharistic Adoration.
Weekly adorers – those who commit to 1 hour each week at the same time – are necessary to maintain the minimum of 2 people present every hour of expositon. The blessed sacrament may not be left alone. These adorers remain on the schedule until they request to be removed. Weekly adorers may also change their weekly commitment times as their schedule changes, and may also add additional times as their schedule permits. Substitutes may be requested through our scheduling app, We Adore Him, if they are unable to fullfill their shifts.

Perhaps you’re not ready to make a weekly commitment but still want to serve in this ministry. Signing up as a substitute may be a perfect way to start. You can register in our We Adore Him website and select “I only want to sub in this job” box when you sign up. When a regular adorer cannot make his shift, our app will send an email to our registered substitutes which you can accept if you are able. You can choose the times you wish to be a sub.
