Updated Guidelines for the Perpetual Adoration Chapel
Holy Week Schedule: The Most Blessed Sacrament will be reposed on Holy Thursday, March 28, at 6:00 p.m, and the Adoration Chapel will be closed temporarily. After the Easter Vigil, at 12:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 31, the Most Blessed Sacrament will again be exposed and the Adoration Chapel will begin regular adoration again.
- Unable To Attend Adoration & Need a Substitute? Request a substitute by texting the word SUB to our automated system at (704) 412-4309. (Please plan ahead with holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, vacation, etc.)
- Forgot the Door Code? Send a message to the adoration system thru your account. We will respond back with the code. An easy way to never lose the code is simply to send a text message to yourself with the code in it. Remember that this code is necessary daily from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., and as well during times such as Christmas & Easter when the main church doors are not open on the same schedule. As well, for the safety of all, please do not give this code out to others. Encourage them to register for an adoration account.
- Checking In & Out: Do not forget to check-in at the iPad in the back corner when you begin your hour, and check-out before you leave. You will see a button with your initials below the scheduled hour.
- Being On Time: Please arrive a few minutes early for your scheduled hour. Keep in mind that the adorers for the previous hour must wait for you to arrive at the chapel before they can leave.
- Using the Scheduled Adorer Cloth: Do not forget to place the black adorer cloth on the back of the pew you sit in so that other adorers know the official adorer for that hour is there. This allows them to leave being assured that someone will be there for the full hour.
- More Adorers: We need more regular adorers. Please take a look at our most urgent needs to fill. Father Codd is asking for at least three scheduled adorers for each hour. We need more men adoring through the night time hours as well. We need more Catholic Campus Ministry students signing up for weekly adoration commitments (you are more than welcome to do this just for the academic year). If you cannot commit to a regular hour, register for an account, and choose to be a substitute. Prayerfully consider signing up and/or adding an additional weekly commitment, and encouraging other parishioners you know to do so.
- Proper Dress & Behavior: Please keep proper dress and behavior in mind. Many adorers have been coming dressed very casually. Please bear in mind that Eucharistic Adoration, like Holy Mass, is a solemn visit with the King and God of the Universe. It is not like other places we visit, or events that we participate in.
Thank you!
