Committed Adorers
Whenever Jesus is exposed in the Monstrance for Adoration, it is required that He be accompanied by at least two people at all times. People who commit to stay with Jesus during Exposition are called "Adorers", and typically they commit to being present for one hour, a Holy Hour. We would like to have at least two people present every hour we are open. Ideally, you would commit to a regular weekly time slot to sit with The Blessed Sacrament by completing the form below. The chapel has 11 chairs plus two kneelers, so more than two people are always welcome. For those who cannot commit to a regular time slot, please drop in to visit our Lord whenever you can and for as long as possible. This is time very well spent, even if only a few minutes! For those who have not had much experience with Eucharistic Adoration, we would like to provide the following guidelines and suggestions to make your time of adoration fruitful.
