Come and Adore Him — Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration

Every Day • 24 Hours a Day • 7 Days a Week

Location: Sorrowful Mother Chapel
Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center
5440 Moeller Avenue, Norwood, OH 45212

The Most Important Invitation We Can Extend Is an Invitation to Encounter Jesus Christ.

At Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, we are blessed to welcome countless visitors for retreats, conferences, faith formation, and special events. But at the very heart of our mission is something far greater: Jesus Christ, truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Our Sorrowful Mother Chapel is home to Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration, where Our Lord is adored in the Blessed Sacrament, day and night.

Here, in the quiet of His presence, you are invited to set aside the busyness of life, bring Him your joys and burdens, and simply rest in His love.

Whether you are seeking peace, healing, guidance, or a deeper relationship with Christ, He is here, waiting for you.

Will You Spend an Hour With Jesus?

Perpetual Adoration is made possible through the faithful commitment of adorers who offer their time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

We warmly invite you to become:

• A Regular Adorer: Commit to spending a designated hour each week in prayer with Our Lord.

• A Substitute Adorer: Help cover Adoration hours when regularly scheduled adorers are unavailable.

Your commitment helps sustain this beautiful ministry and ensures that Our Lord is never left alone during Eucharistic Adoration.

There is no registration required to stop in and pray. All are welcome.

Come and Adore Him.

You don't need a special occasion, a retreat reservation, or an event ticket to encounter Jesus here.

Just come.

He is the reason we are here. And He is waiting for you.

COMING IN NOVEMBER!

Journey to Bethlehem this Advent season at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.

Beginning in mid-November, we invite you to experience our Sacred Art & Street of Bethlehem Tour—a guided, prayerful pilgrimage through sacred art and our recreated Street of Bethlehem.

This contemplative journey invites you to step away from the busyness of the season and enter more deeply into the mystery of the Nativity. Through sacred images, Scripture, prayer, and reflection, walk with Mary and Joseph toward Bethlehem and prepare your heart to welcome Christ anew.

Come to listen. Come to pray. Come to encounter the wonder of Christmas.

Sacred Art & Street of Bethlehem Tours begin in mid-November.
Registration information and tour times will be posted as the season approaches.

LIVE Actor Bethlehem Experience

On the first three Saturdays in December, the Street of Bethlehem comes alive!

Guests will journey through our recreated Bethlehem as live actors bring the story of the Nativity to life, offering families and visitors of all ages an opportunity to experience the sights, sounds, and story of Bethlehem in a memorable and faith-filled way.

Groups

Groups of 20 or more who are interested in visiting the Sacred Art & Street of Bethlehem experience are encouraged to contact our office in advance at 513-351-9800 or INFO@olhsc.org so that we can assist with your visit.

Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center operates through the generosity of our donors and guests. Your support helps us continue to provide sacred spaces and experiences that invite people to encounter Jesus Christ through prayer, worship, retreat, and spiritual renewal.

Our LIVE Actor Bethlehem Experience has sold out in previous years, so we strongly encourage guests to register early once tickets become available. Ticket sales begin in November.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bethlehem!
