Schools across America and the entire world are
bringing children to adore Jesus in Eucharistic
Adoration during the school day. What a great break
for both students and teachers! It works to bring a
more peaceful grace filled day to your school and

Adoration For School Children and Teens
In the Diocese of Wichita, Kansas, for
example, nearly every Catholic School
now has adoration for the students! Some
schools offer it weekly and others
bimonthly. Some offer it First Fridays all
day. By incorporating Adoration into the
religious formation in school you open a
whole new world of contemplative prayer
for these children, many of whom may
have never been to Adoration before.
These children can come before Jesus in
the middle of a school day just for a visit,
to pray, adore Him, thank Him for His
presence among us. They pray for Peace
in the World, for vocations to Priesthood
and religious life, for their teachers and all
the burdens they carry. They pray for
their own families. One boy I will never
forget asked Jesus, "For my parents to be
real Catholics!" How much grace must
Jesus have poured out to his family that
day! How could He resist such a pure
request from the heart of a little boy?

Getting started is easy! You just do it!
Talk with your principal and pastor to see if they are open to it.
Find a day that fits in the schedule.
If you have perpetual adoration you can bring Jesus into th main
church and the regular adorers can be there so the classes can
come and go.
If you don't have perpetual adoration why not begin at least all
day adoration for that day? :-)
Pray! Pray! Pray! Jesus will open the doors and help you make
this work! He wants it! :-)
