ADORATION
We have formulated a list of local Adoration opportunities. 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. Our alphabetical list includes all Catholic Masses in McLean, Livingston, Logan, DeWitt, Woodford, Ford and even northwestern Champaign County and southern LaSalle County.
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. 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.
STAY AT HOME ORDER
The state of Illinois is under a Stay at Home/Shelter in Place order by the governor.
Churches are not expected to re-open until at least April 7. That date may get extended. We will keep you updated.
Go to ewtn.com/adoration to pray before the Blessed Sacrament via a live video 8AM-5PM Central Time.
The local church times listed below will resume sometime in the future.
