Adoration By The Numbers:

Our parish has committed to Adoring Our Lord in the chapel 18 hours a day (6AM - Midnight), 5 days a week (M-F).  Currently we have 126 Committed Adorers pledged to cover at least one hour every week.  Our goal has always been to have a minimum of two people committed for every hour so everyone has a partner.   We’re not doing well reaching that goal because fifty-six (56) of the ninety (90) hours committed have only one person adoring.  Currently we have 6 hours during the week without a scheduled adorer.  We try to fill those hours by requesting a substitute each week.  There are also 4 hours where the adorer has asked for a partner to share the hour with.

In addition to those committed to an hour every week there are sixty-four (64) people who have volunteered to be a substitute willing to fill-in for a committed Adorer when a need arises.  Of those 64, 37 have not fulfilled a request in the past 6 months. 

Committed Adorers sign in for their hour using a kiosk each time they enter the chapel.  This works great for ‘committed’, but we were missing those people who just visited occasionally.

In an effort to solve that we added a paper based “Visitor’s Log” which helped get a better handle of how many people actually use the chapel.  We are very blessed that our chapel get’s a lot of traffic, but there’s still too many who won’t take a moment to sign the log.  If you’re a visitor to the chapel please take that moment to let us know you were there.

** During Lent 2024 a total 393 visitors registered in the Adoration Chapel **
   (A better breakdown is not available.)
** During Lent 2025 a total 427 visitors registered in the Adoration Chapel **
   (Of 427 - 166 registered as IHM parishioners - 241 registered from other parishes 
     - and only 20 didn’t list affiliation.)

With the help of the Holy Spirit we will continue to grow.  If you are willing to make a commitment do so by going to the website below.
