Adorate

for 2 hours
St Aidan’s, Carlisle
WARWICK ROAD Carlisle, CA1 1LT, United Kingdom

A global prayer vigil from the evening of Wednesday 3 June to Thursday 11 June 2026
The 40 Hours+ Devotion is an invitation to commit to one hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament—wherever you are. This may take place during a public service or scheduled Holy Hour; alone in church, whether the Sacrament is exposed or reserved; or at home, while praying with a livestream of the exposed Sacrament. Whether in person or online, formal or informal, each hour contributes to a continuous offering of prayer during the Octave of Corpus Christi. St Aidan’s church will be open, the Blessed Sacrament exposed and incense offered for two hours. Feel free to drop in for quiet prayer.

Participants may take part individually or as a group. And more than one person or group may sign up for the same hour.

St Aidan’s, Carlisle

St Aidan’s is a beautiful church at the heart of the Warwick Road community. We are a welcoming, accepting congregation who enjoy a traditional style of worship. We follow a printed order of service and sing hymns from a hymn book to organ accompaniment. We value Scripture and the Sacraments expressed through beautiful music, words and surroundings, with candles, vestments and sometimes incense. Come and find out if this suits your own spirituality and journey with us as we try to live out the Gospel message and learn how to love God and our neighbour.
