Important Update: Chapel Adoration Hours Changing June 1, 2025
Effective June 1, 2025, the Adoration Chapel will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. This temporary change addresses safety concerns and a lack of overnight coverage. As required by the USCCB, we aim for two adorers per hour. Current adorers are asked to consider adding an extra hour and helping cover the revised schedule.If we can recruit enough committed adorers—possibly with help from neighboring parishes—we hope to return to Perpetual Adoration in the future.
Let us remain united in prayer as we continue to support this sacred ministry.

What is an adoration chapel?
An adoration chapel is a dedicated space in a church or a small separate building that is designed for personal prayer to Jesus present in a consecrated Eucharistic host.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church briefly explains the Catholic teaching regarding the Eucharist: “By the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood” (CCC 1376).
This means that while the appearance of bread and wine remains, the substance is changed (through the power of God) completely to the body and blood of Christ.
As a result, Catholics for many centuries have engaged in Eucharistic adoration, during which they spend time in prayer before a consecrated host displayed in a liturgical vessel called a monstrance.
This host is the Blessed Sacrament, the Real Presence of Jesus Christ, and praying in an adoration chapel is often explained as sitting or kneeling in front of Jesus himself.
Many churches have created their own private spaces for Eucharistic adoration, either within their existing church building, or in a separate building. This allows individuals to pray before Jesus in a quiet atmosphere, facilitating contemplative prayer.
If you feel drawn to spending extra time with Jesus, please visit our adoration chapel and listen to God’s voice speak to your soul.

The Perpetual Adoration Chapel | Greenfield.Perpetual Adoration Chapel | Hours Available | Coverage Requested.
The Perpetual Adoration Chapel, located at Blessed Sacrament Church, is open 24-hours a day, 7-days a week and has a scheduled adorer always present. Since October 16, 1994, devoted Catholics from Franklin County and beyond have sat in sacred silence, in adoration of our Lord, Jesus Christ. They willingly share their deepest joys and sorrows, offer prayers, and seek divine revelation with Him.
The Chapel is open and accessible to anyone. During the evening and early morning, in order to gain entrance, there is a doorbell located just to the left of the outer door. Please ring the bell and the adorer inside will let you in.
