131 years of perpetual adoration

For this National Day of Prayer, Annysa Johnson reports from La Crosse, where

the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, has prayed before the Holy Eucharist in shifts around the clock since 1878.

Ms. Johnson reports the practice "is seeing a resurgence in some Catholic parishes and schools."
