Holy Hour

A Holy Hour is a period of devotion within the Catholic tradition, typically lasting an hour, dedicated to prayer and reflection before the Blessed Sacrament—the consecrated bread representing Christ’s presence. It encourages believers to contemplate God’s love, seek spiritual growth, and deepen their connection with Jesus. Holy Hours are often held in church settings and can include scripture reading, adoration, silence, or singing. The practice emphasizes reverence, interior prayer, and the desire to unite more closely with Christ through focused worship and meditation.
