Eucharistic adoration is a practice in the Catholic Church in which the Blessed Sacrament is exposed and adored by the faithful. Christian meditation performed in the presence of the Eucharist has been practiced, over the years, by many saints such as Julian Eymard, Jean Vianney and Thérèse of Lisieux.
The Holy Name of Jesus Adoration chapel is available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday.
When an individual commits for an uninterrupted hour it is known as a Holy Hour. The inspiration for the Holy Hour is Matthew 26:40 when in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his crucifixion, Jesus asks Peter: "So, could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?".
You are welcome to drop in, bringing your thoughts, concerns or questions to Our Lord or just sit and enjoy the quiet. Many adorers experience a grace and peace during their Holy Hour that becomes an important part of their faith and their lives. Please visit and consider joining our Adoration community as a committed adorer.
The chapel is located in the Parish Center building on the corner of Palmer & LaSalle. The address is:
6220 LaSalle Place
New Orleans, LA 70118
