Eucharistic Adoration
In the heart of our Faith community, we are blessed to have the opportunity to participate in Eucharistic Adoration—a sacred tradition of spending time in the presence of the Eucharist, thus deepening our relationship with Jesus Christ. This practice not only nourishes our souls but also strengthens the spiritual fabric of our parish and surrounding community.
Opening Summer 2025
Saint Zachary Oratory will open this summer with the following initial schedule, provided we have adorers:
- Mondays: 10 AM - Midnight
- Tuesday: Midnight - 4 PM
- Wednesday: 10 AM - Midnight
- Friday: 10 AM - 4 PM
More times will be added at later dates, provided there are adorers committed.
Sign up to adore
In order to have perpetual adoration, we need individuals to commit to a weekly one hour time slot. Please sign up for a time you can commit to for the initial opening schedule. If you cannot commit to an hour from the initial schedule, you may indicate your interest for an hour "off schedule". You will be contacted to confirm an "off schedule" commitment before the chapel opens at that time.

Jesus said to His disciples, “Could you not keep watch with Me for one hour?” (Matthew 26:40).
This is our chance to answer His call, to be still and keep watch with Him, and to let His love transform our lives. Consider this invitation, and together, let us foster a community centered on prayer and devotion.

FAQs

Weekly adorers are committed to showing up every week for their assigned holy hour.
Do I need to commit to an hour to go to adoration?
You will be able to attend any daytime adoration hours without committing yourself to a weekly holy hour. During office hours, you can request a door code for the Oratory from the parish office. However, if you sign up for a weekly commitment or to be a substitute, you will have access to overnight adoration hours as well.
What if I cannot make it to my weekly hour?
Request a substitute using the WeAdoreHim website.

Find peace and renewal in the quiet presence of Jesus. Offer your prayers for personal intentions, vocations, our parish, and the world. Be a part of a beautiful tradition rooted in the Church Fathers that draws us closer to God, and help us make this ministry available to others.
Do you have to be Catholic and a member of SEAS to sign up for adoration?
You do not have to be Catholic to attend Eucharistic Adoration. Anyone is welcome to participate. Eucharistic adoration can bring a sense of peace, comfort, and healing to anyone who attends, regardless of their religious background. However, it's important to be respectful of the sacred nature of the practice. This means being mindful of quiet prayer, avoiding distractions, and following all the Adoration Guidelines, including genuflecting (kneeling) when entering and leaving.
