Perpetual Eucharistic adoration begins at the Olympics

[Michie]

London, England, Jul 30, 2012 / 11:31 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Today marked the launch of a major Olympic event that you won’t find in the official Games brochure, 24-hour Eucharistic adoration.

“We’re flying the flag for Christ if you like,” said Franciscan Father Francis Conway of St. Francis of Assisi Friary in Stratford, the Catholic Church closest to the Olympic village in London’s East End.

“We will have Eucharistic adoration from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., when another East End parish will take over from 6 p.m. till late, and then a third parish will continue through the night until we take over again at 9 a.m.,” Fr. Conway explained.

In the quest to find Catholics who are living their Catholic identity in public life, I’m tracking down Catholic Olympians and other Catholics of note participating in London this summer. Let me know who I’m missing and I’ll fill out the picture.

The Olympic opening "ceremonies" did perform one useful public service: They reminded us that you can't invent liturgy...

I think this is awesome. We don't have a Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel here in my town but we do have one in a town about 20 minutes from here.
