DID YOU KNOW?
Participate in a night of adoration
The vocation of the Basilica is to offer continuous Eucharistic adoration, day and night. Every evening, after the doors close at 11 p.m., the prayer relay continues in the Basilica, led by those who have signed up for the night of adoration (and are staying at the Basilica’s guesthouse).
Welcome, everyone, to this beautiful experience of nighttime adoration.
BOOKING FOR A NIGHT OF ADORATION
You will be accommodated at the Basilica guesthouse, in a dormitory or a single room, depending on your choice and availability. Bed linen is provided in both rooms and dormitories. Towels are only provided in rooms.
Registration at least 24 hours in advance:
- by phone at +33 1 53 41 89 00 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
- or by email (especially for groups of more than 8 people) via the contact form.
You should receive confirmation of your registration by email or phone. Please note that without this confirmation, your request has not been validated. If we are unable to accommodate you on your chosen date, we will notify you and suggest an alternative date.
Useful information
There are many requests on weekends, and we have to turn down registrations almost every Friday and Saturday evening, but please note that we often have a shortage of worshipers on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings.
Keep this in mind!
After registering, if you are unable to attend, please notify us by email as soon as possible so that others can register.

Night of adoration Program
- Reception: between 8:15 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Groups must check in at reception before 9 p.m.
When you arrive, you will be shown to your dormitory or room. Upon arrival, you will choose the time at which you wish to pray during the night between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. (ensuring, along with us, that the prayer relay is respected). We will then give you your “pass.”
Important: Each time you come to participate in night adoration, you must pick up this personalized bracelet at the reception desk between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. For organizational and security reasons, the reception desk closes at 9:30 p.m. and no exceptions can be made.

We are delighted to welcome you to the night of adoration at the basilica… since August 1, 1885!
It is up to you to be the morning watchmen who announce the arrival of the sun, which is the risen Christ.
The light that Jesus speaks of in the Gospel is the light of faith, a free gift from God, which illuminates the heart and enlightens the mind.
A personal encounter with Christ illuminates our lives with new light, sets us on the right path, and commits us to be his witnesses.
The new way of looking at the world and at people, a way that comes from him, allows us to penetrate more deeply into the mystery of faith, which is an experience to be assimilated, a truth to be lived, the salt and light of all reality.SAINT JOHN PAUL IIPope
