How to Host Adoration for Your Youth Ministry

This month at the Johnson County Youth Ministers meeting, Mac Kaminiski presented 3 options on how to host an adoration night for your youth and parish. 

Three Options for Adoration

Simple Adoration Format:

  • Use a church or chapel.
  • Include a short talk to guide prayer.
  • Provide instrumental music and reflective journaling prompts.
  • Offer confession and prayer partners.
  • Sessions should last 30–45 minutes.

Plan your questions. Make sure to think the questions you want your panelist to answer and communicate the questions to the panelist at least 2 weeks in advance. The questions to should be divided up specifically for each panelist.

Advertise your night. Starting waaaay in advance, advertise your night to the parents on the parish. Recommendation, start advertising the night at least one month in advance. If the night is important, act like it and don’t wait until the last minute to communicate about it. 

Looking for an example, download the night St. Michael the Archangel ran.
