Seems to be nowhere in the Diocese of Norwich, CT. In the Archdiocese of Hartford I can think of the Dominican nuns in North Guilford, CT, having perpetual adoration but their chapel is not open to the public for the full 24 hours.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>While I know adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is a awesome gesture of prayer, beauty, sacrifice and communion, is it wanted or needed by the people of God (&amp; clergy)? I get the sense that it&#8217;s not based on these three dioceses but I think I&#8217;d be wrong to make this conclusion. Paulson&#8217;s article brings to light that people are truly changed after spending time with the Lord; and I dare say it&#8217;s also vice versa &#8211;that the Lord wants to spend time with us. So why can&#8217;t more dioceses restore a sensible practice of eucharistic adoration 24\/7?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 3rd, I mentioned here in this blog that after 40 years the eucharistic of perpetual adoration is returning to the Archdiocese of Boston.
