In the USA, in February 2020, according to statistics on the above Real Presence directory, about 8512 adoration sites were listed, including 814 that have round the clock PEA.
In 2025 based on stats available, out of the total of 17,500 Catholic parishes in the United States, 51% (9000 parishes) have no Eucharistic adoration, 44% (7000 parishes) have some Eucharistic adoration, and 5% (800 parishes) have perpetual Eucharistic adoration.
In parishes that have adoration, only 7% of parishioners are participating regularly, 93% are not participating. We encourage your parish priest and parish to invite and ask all parishioners to adore regularly and take a weekly holy hour. See: Schedule Your Adoration Sign-Up weekend/Organization/Sign-Up campaign
According to a study by Pew Reseach centre, only 25% of baptised Catholics stated they are attending Sunday Mass regularly, 75% are lapsed fallen away Catholics (minus shut-ins who are unable to attend anymore and were not noted here).
God wants to save everyone. We encourage all parishes to reach out and invite back all to return to Mass and to attend adoration. See: Outreach letter or calling script

Some of the pre-Covid churches and chapels with Eucharistic Adoration in Canada are listed on the Real Presence Association Directory at this link.
In Canada, as of 2020, according to these stats, we are aware of 592 adoration sites, including only around 30 with round the clock adoration and the rest with partial perpetual adoration or some minimal hours of Eucharistic adoration. 393 of these sites are in Ontario, including 19 of the 30 full 24×7 adoration sites.
There are approximately 3,881 Catholic parishes in Canada as of late 2020. While exact numbers are difficult to determine and based on the data that was reported in the Real Presence directory of adoration sites which is outdated, it is estimated that only 15% (592/3881) parishes or adoration sites in Canada offer some form of Eucharistic adoration. The remaining 85% of Canadian parishes do not have regular weekly adoration. 66% (393/3881) of the adoration sites are located in Ontario, including 63% (19/30) of the perpetual adoration sites.
The Catholic population in Canada is 16,858 Catholics – Statistics of the Catholic Church in Canada as of 31 December 2020 (from the Central Office for Church Statistics)
Other data shows 17% of adult Catholics in Canada attended Mass weekly in 2023 and that only 15–25% of the nation’s Catholics attend Mass on a normal Sunday. Catholic Church in Canada – Wikipedia
The Catholic Church in Canada, as of 2021, has the largest number of adherents to a Christian denomination and a religion in Canada, with 29.4% of Canadians (10.8 million) being adherents according to the census in 2021. There are 73 dioceses and about 7,000 priests in Canada.On a normal Sunday, between 15 and 25 percent of Canada’s Catholics attend Mass (15 per cent weekly attenders and another nine per cent monthly). Clearly, Catholics have not been catechized or need to be reminded that it is mortally sinful to miss attending weekly Sunday obligation Mass.
Obviously, having adoration once a month on the First Friday only in these times, considering the dire situation of lapsed Catholics and the pleas of Our Lord, Our Lady, the Church, popes and saints for parishes to have more adoration is not enough! If we want to win the battle for souls, we desperately need more adoration.

Individual parishes would need to be tracked to provide a current update which is a full-time and ardous process. Search tools using artificial intelligence will become of more assistance in that regard and you can send your updates to: Ora Cor Adoration.
ADORATION NEEDS TO BE PROMOTED MORE IN EVERY DIOCESE AND PARISH!
As you can see, adoration needs and should be promoted by every bishop, diocese, pastor and parish and religious community. There is a tremendous potential that has been untapped and is missing out on the graces of Eucharistic and perpetual adoration.
Diocesan Adoration Directories:
Diocesan websites promote adoration by including a section on Eucharistic Adoration that includes special attention with their own Directory/list of all of the parishes and Christian communities in their diocese that have round the clock adoration and those with part-time adoration, listing the days and the hours.
For example:
- Adoration hours in the Diocese of Calgary – ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF CALGARY
- Archdiocese of Chicago has a directory of adoration in parishes
- Chapels in the Archdiocese of Vancouver, BC
- Chapels in the Archdiocese of Ottawa, ON
- https://catholicottawa.ca/adoration-times
- https://catholicottawa.ca/documents/2015/12/WEB%20SITE%20AdorationTimes_ENG.pdf
- Adoration in the Archdiocese of Kingston
- Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon – Intimacy with the Lord
Parish Adoration Directories:
Each parish could have a section on Eucharistic Adoration and listing their days and times of adoration near the Mass times on their websites and bulletin. Parish websites can include an Online Sign-Up for adoration and this will allow them to garner interest to start and/or sustain exposition of the Blessed Sacrament: Sample parish webpage online sign-up form – APOSTOLATE OF EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
We pray that every bishop, diocese, pastor, clergy, religious and the laity will do all they can to increase the number of parishes and Christian communities with PEA/EA!
