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.

🙏 [SIGN UP TO BECOME AN ADORER OR SUBSTITUTE]

All Souls Day/Día de los Muertos : A Catholic Sacred Art Workshop for Children ages 6 - 16

Remembering Our Loved Ones Through Faith, Prayer & Art

Join us at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center for a beautiful afternoon of faith, creativity, and remembrance as we celebrate All Souls Day through the lens of our Catholic faith.

Led by our Sacred Art instructor, Veronica, this special workshop for children ages 6–16 will explore the rich traditions of Día de los Muertos alongside the Catholic observances of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.

Through prayer, reflection, and hands-on sacred art, children will learn about Memento Mori (“Remember your death”), the Communion of Saints, and the importance of praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Together, we will reflect on God's promise of eternal life and the hope we share through Christ's Resurrection.

A Special Invitation: Children are encouraged to bring a photograph of a loved one who has passed away—whether a family member, friend, or beloved pet. These treasured memories will inspire their artwork as we lovingly remember those who have touched our lives. We will also offer prayers for our departed family members and friends.
