Religious Orders that are VERY devoted to. . .

[luxetveritas]

Hi Phatmass Phamily,

I was wondering if any of you could help me out on here. I'm discerning religious life and I was wondering if you know of any communities in which Eucharistic Adoration is a very important part of their community life. I know there are some orders that don't use Eucharistic Adoration much. . .I'm looking for ones where that may be their primary focus and/or its a very important part of their life aside from their apostulate.

Thank you!

Are you looking for contemplative or active communities? If what you're looking for contemplative communities there are the Benedictines of Adoration who are all over the world, the Perpetual Adoration sisters who originate from France, Poor Clare communities generally have a focus on adoration, but especially Mother Angelica's community who have perpetual adoration. And there's Dominicans, Summit Dominicans have all day adoration and all night adoration three times a week.

If you're looking for active communities there's Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, https://www.fspa.org/ and the Sisters of St Francis of Perpetual 

Adoration www.ssfpa.org . The DSMME have adoration every day I believe

Right now I'm looking into both contemplative and active communities. . .For active communities an order that generally would have some eucharistic adoration daily.

Thank you all for your help!!

The Community of St John have daily Adoration. For the Apostolic Sisters the blessed Sacrament is exposed during the 45 minutes of silent prayer in the morning and each evening they have a Holy Hour. 

I believe the Contemplative Sisters have a similar schedule but I remember hearing that they have perpetual adoration though I am not certain about that.

I think the Daughters of St. Paul have regular Eucharistic Adoration: http://www.daughtersofstpaul.com/

And, of course, for contemplative life, the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration. Each monastery seems to have its own website, but they are easy to find.

Hi NunMother! Good to see you around here again!  (Sorry off topic)

Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration....Mother Angelica's order.

[He is Risen!]

CFRs have a daily holy hour, if you're a novice, you get two holy hours daily!

[puellapaschalis]

The Dominican Sisters of St Joseph have Adoration each evening, as per http://www.dominicansistersofstjoseph.org/community/

Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration  WEBSITE

I was a member of this community for a few years. They have Perpetual Adoration, but also have Benediction and adoration once a day as a community. Feel free to pm me with specific questions!

[4LoveofJMJ]

The Sisters of Life have a daily Eucharistic holy hour I think.

[katherineH]

Yes, the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration first came to mind.  I know the Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma, MI also have a holy hour with the Blessed Sacrament exposed each day.

I don't mean to split hairs here, but I just want to make an important distinction.... the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration (Mishawaka, IN) and the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration (La Crosse, WI) are completely separate communities, with different founders and different constitutions. Although their names are similar, I just want to point out that they are not the same community.

I don't want to be rude to anyone, here on phatmass or either community, but I wanted to point out the distinction because it can be quite confusing!

[Sister Leticia]

The Religious of the Assumption are an apostolic congregation with daily Eucharistic adoration. This is a link to their UK website http://www.assumptionreligious.org/ but they also have sisters in the US, and various countries in Europe, Asia and Africa.

Nope that is a very good point! I would not have noticed that unless you pointed it out. And with them being two different communities that is not "splitting hairs" in my book!

[Nunsuch]

Many communities have extremely similar names. For example, at almost exactly the same time, two Polish-American communities of sisters were founded. One is the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph. The other is the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis!  THAT is confusing....

Along these same lines, the Sisters of Christian Charity (SCCs) are NOT the same as the Sisters of Charity or the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity.
