This Month



Overall theme for 2025: “PILGRIMS OF HOPE” - Pathway to the Holy Spirit.


We are celebrating our 50th Anniversary with a programme that echoes the Universal Church’s Jubilee 2025 theme of Hope. Our monthly themes will reflect various different aspects of Pilgrimage and Jubilee, with the over-riding message of moving forward with expectant hope in the providence of God; a firm trust in the victory of Christ; and joy in the blessings and gifts of the Holy Spirit for revitalising the Church


ADoRE will continue its mission of encouraging people to deeper personal relationship with Jesus; experiencing the Baptism of the Holy Spirit; and using the charisms of the Holy Spirit to bring others into the Kingdom and build their hope.

USUAL MONTHLY ONLINE PROGRAMME (Not October)


You are very welcome to join us on Zoom. See MEETING panel for details of the next meeting and scroll down to JOINING DETAILS panel for how to register and participate.   


Rosary: we would normally start our meeting with the Rosary, but this is not part of the Zoom conference. You can choose to watch an online Rosary for example Rosary Joyful Mysteries from Lourdes (30 minutes); or say your own, using our ADoRE "Rosary with Scriptures" Link HERE

Mass and Adoration: livestreamed on Zoom from 10.00am after a short introduction. Please join from 9.50 and stay muted. More information on Adoration HERE


Reflection and prophecy: after Adoration, participants may offer words that they feel the Lord is giving them. Please press the "Reactions" button to raise a hand and wait till we ask you to unmute your microphone and invite you to speak. More information about Prophecy HERE

Praise and Worship: After a 10 minute comfort break, at 11.20am there will be a fuller welcome and introduction and a time of sung praise and worship. Song words will be shown on screen so you can join in at home, though your microphone should still be muted. (The time delay online makes it tricky to sing in unison).


Testimony: at 11.45am there will be a short testimony from someone about their own experience of renewal in the Spirit.


Talk: at 11.50 we have an inspiring talk from our guest speaker for the month. (See THIS MONTH panel for details.) This will conclude with a time of prayer for renewed outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit on all participants.


Sharing: At aroud 12.30, we will usually have a Question & Answer session with the speaker, before further prayer and final announcements. The meeting finishes at around 1.00pm.


Prayer Ministry: We offer the opportunity for you to receive prayer for healing or spiritual renewal of your faith by telephone in the afternoon. Details HERE


Watch again: Most months we record the Mass & Adoration, Praise & Worship, Talk & Testimony so that you can remind yourself of the retreat, or catch up if you missed it. Go to our YouTube channel  HERE
