Catholic Churches Worldwide Observe '24 Hours for the Lord' Event

Perpetual adoration has seen a significant rise in participation among Catholics across the United States, with many individuals dedicating time to pray before the Blessed Sacrament in chapels that operate 24/7. Notably, the Vatican will celebrate a special Holy Year event called '24 hours for the Lord,' encouraging churches globally to offer continuous adoration. In Hialeah, Florida, parishioners at St. Benedict Catholic Church describe the experience as deeply personal and transformative, with many attending regularly to foster their relationship with God. Similarly, Saint Joseph Parish in Ogden, Utah, marks 15 years of continuous prayer, highlighting its role in fostering religious vocations and strengthening community faith. Both locations reflect a broader trend of integrating adoration into the spiritual lives of Catholics, enriching their faith practices. This growing movement underscores the importance of Eucharistic devotion in contemporary Catholicism.
