Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament Perpetual Adoration Chapel
We are extremely grateful to the many committed adorers from St. Patrick and St. Joan of Arc who make it possible to have a perpetual adoration chapel in Kokomo. If you would like to sign up for an hour please contact Barb Miller at 765-860-4402. Vacant hours are regularly published in the bulletins of both St. Patrick and St. Joan of Arc. Ideally, two adorers are present for each hour. Even if you cannot commit to a regular hour, everyone is encouraged to regularly spend time in His presence. Since its establishment, the chapel has borne much fruit in blessings to our parish and an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life from our pastorate.

About our chapel...
- Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament Perpetual Adoration Chapel was established in 2003 under the leadership of Fr. Ted Dudzinski.
-
The chapel was dedicated on the Feast of Corpus Christi June 22, 2003 after the 11:00 a.m. Mass and annual Corpus Christi procession.
-
There are 168 hours in a week’s time. Currently we have 235 individuals committed to an hour each week and 43 others who act as substitutes to fill-in for regularly scheduled adorers when they are sick, on vacation, or cannot keep their hour for whatever reason.
-
Currently all but 18 hours are filled.
-
The number of people who just pop in for a visit with Jesus in a week’s time is approximately 150.
-
A wide assortment of reading materials in both English and Spanish are available in the chapel to aid your prayer and quiet time - books on the saints and the Eucharistic, Bibles, spiritual classics, children's books.
-
A beautiful brick walkway leads to the Chapel door. Families/individuals can purchase a brick to have their names engraved in honor of or in memory of a loved one.
- The ten year anniversary of the chapel was celebrated June 2, 2013 with a Eucharistic Procession on Corpus Christi, a large gathering of parishioners in fellowship, and a renewed commitment to adoring Christ.
- In honor of the chapel's 20th anniversary and in timely conjunction with the Year of Parish Eucharistic Revival, many generous parishioners donated money, time and skill to lovingly renovate the chapel's interior space.

“As of three years ago I did not have an adoration hour. When Sister Mary Grace left for the convent I assumed her adoration hour which is 1am Thursday mornings. That hour of the morning is very difficult to make and I struggle with it but I continue to fight and go at that hour for a couple of reasons. One because that was my daughter’s hour that she signed up for to help the church fill every hour, secondly is because it’s a sacrifice to get there at that hour. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for all of us when He died on the cross for our sins, so I also try to offer this small sacrifice for His glory.” Todd Richey

“...a spiritual life changer for me. I’ve had a specific hour since we were able to sign up, however, Jesus sees me more often than that in our beautiful Chapel! I’ve gone into the chapel distraught, prayed for an hour or whatever amount of time I need and have come out of there a different person with a different attitude."
