FAQs
What is the role of a committed Adorer?
An Adorer covers a specific hour during the day of the week. In case of illness, or other, every effort must be made to find a replacement before calling the Coordinator. It is well to remember that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. You form a link in an endless chain of Adorers on behalf of the whole community.
What is the role of a Coordinator?
A Coordinator is a leader who is responsible for one of the 24 hours of the day every day throughout the entire week and ensures that there is one adorer for each hour of the day, everyday, throughout the week. He/She makes sure that his/her particular hour is always covered. The main duty of the Coordinator is to continue to inspire and motivate adorers and solicit new adorers. A further responsibility is to find a replacement for an adorer in an emergency situation. In the event that the Coordinator is unable to obtain a replacement, he/she should cover the hour in question. Each adorer of a specific hour is supplied with the phone number of other adorers and the Coordinator.
With the rate of crime, isn't it dangerous to go around the clock, 24 hours a day?
Pope John Paul II has said that all the evils of the world could be overcome through the great power of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration. The devil is put to flight wherever Jesus is adored in the most Blessed Sacrament. Many Pastors report that since P.E.A. has been established in their Parishes, crime has declined, particularly in crime ridden and dangerous areas. Believe that Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament is the Lord who cast out demons, calmed the sea and is infinitely more powerful than any law enforcement agency on this earth.
"Fear is useless. What is needed is trust." (Mark 5:36)
