ADORATION
We broadcast on FM on 89.5 Ellsworth/Bloomington, 92.5 Bloomington, 88.3 Pontiac, 97.1 Lincoln and on our website, among other things. We love the great feedback from our listeners we get regarding how much your faith has been increased through the inspirational programing of our radio station.
We strive to also make it easier for our listeners to be aware of where their local Catholic Churches are located and aware of the Mass times, Adoration and Confession times. Sacraments at your local church strengthen you far more than just a spoken word on the radio.
Therefore, we have formulated a list of local Mass Times for Weekends & Daily Mass, as well as a list of Adoration and Confession opportunities. The cities we have included in the list are ones that you our listeners likely live in. In addition to Bloomington, Pontiac and Lincoln, we also know that many of our listeners live in various other towns nearby. Our list includes all towns that could potentially hear the signal of at least one of our FM stations. Info was not acquired for cities where none of our 4 radio stations can be heard.
Here is a list of places and times of Adoration locally. If a church is in our Mass list, but not in this Adoration document, there is no known Adoration times. All cities are in McLean County unless otherwise noted. Some cities are partially in one county and partially another. All churches are part of the Diocese of Peoria unless otherwise noted.
Some list a starting time, but don’t list an end time. Some don’t list a start time, but just say that it is after Mass. Recent Adoration time changes are highlighted.
