Prayer Ministry

The center of life for the Presentation Sisters is prayer. It is through this relationship with Christ that each sister finds strength and support for her ministry. Presentation community life allows the sisters to share this spiritual grounding with each other as they live out their vocational call.

“Prayer brings me focus and frees my mind so that I can begin each day with a heart full of joy and the strength that comes from knowing I am not alone,” explains Sister Adrienne Dorn.

Presentation Sisters feed their spiritual lives through private and community prayer and reflection. Eucharistic Adoration in Blessed Sacrament Chapel is a daily event for sisters living in Aberdeen, while the Prayerline Ministry allows the sisters to become aware of and pray for the needs of those they serve.

What is Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration?

In 1906, Bishop O’Gorman asked the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to begin perpetual Eucharistic Adoration for the needs of the people in the Sioux Falls diocese. December 25, 2006, marked the 100-year anniversary of our practice of daily Eucharistic Adoration.

The sisters gather daily in their Adoration Chapel; spending our time in this sacred space offering prayers for the intentions of those who have requested prayer, as well as for the needs of the people of the diocese, the nation and the world.

This practice has been an essential element of Presentation life in community. A facet that keeps this prayer ministry current and relevant is our prayer line ministry. Individuals throughout the world contact us via phone, e-mail or our Web site and request that we pray for their intentions.

Prayer is important in my life as a Presentation Sister because my prayer life is the way I relate to God. Prayer is a part of every part of my day, from my private morning prayer, to the morning prayer with my community, to Mass, to time spent in Eucharistic Adoration to my evening prayer. These prayers are important and I believe that praying for the intentions of others pleases God as God knows that we care for one another.

Prayer is the way I relate to God; as Friendship is the way I relate to those I care about, my friends. As human beings, our needs are to be in touch with God, our Creator. God is doing us a favor by having a way for us to contact him.
