Perpetual Adoration is a time during which the Catholic faithful spend time adoring and praying before the exposed Blessed Sacrament. A consecrated host is placed inside a monstrance, which is then placed on an altar. Throughout the day and night, every week, all year long, members of All Saints Parish are present before the Eucharist. Some adore once each week, others only adore a few times each month, but all are invited to visit the chapel on a regular basis!
Perpetual Adoration takes place in the adoration chapel, located at St. Joseph Church, except on the first Friday of every month when adoration is moved to St. James Church. Any confirmed Catholic is invited to sign-up for an hour or visit the chapel anytime. To see a list of unfilled hours, please see the adoration section of the weekly bulletin.
For more information, call Rose Schlesser at 712-541-3518 or Annette Kuiken at the parish office at 712-546-5223.

Northwest Iowa enjoys a much varied climate. When inclement weather occurs, usually in the winter months, adoration will be temporarily suspended. During this time, adorers are asked to stay home and stay safe while the Blessed Sacrament is reposed.
A notice of suspension is sent by email and text message to registered users and is also posted on KLEM-FM radio. Please visit these organizations' weather announcements pages before visiting the chapel when traveling could be dangerous.
