How is Adoration Done?

The *process* of Adoration is unique to everyone. As a committed adorer, you are spending one specific hour per week in the Lord’s presence to ensure that the Blessed Sacrament is never left unattended. What you do in that hour until you are relieved is entirely up to you! Bear in mind that you are coming before the Lord in His Real Presence, so your activities should be directed in a prayerful and respectful manner.

Usual activities at Adoration include silent prayer, rosary recitation, reading, and meditating. During extended visits, I myself use the opportunity to study and take notes; there is nothing more uplifting than studying at the feet of the Divine Teacher!
Upon arrival at the chapel, your first act should be to sign in. There is an iPad kiosk in the chapel that allows you to electronically sign in. For those more comfortable with paper, there is also a daily schedule kept on the table in front of the iPad kiosk. You do not need to sign in on BOTH, one or the other is fine.

As part of a team, we ask that you do not leave the chapel until your replacement has arrived. The schedule of adorers is always kept at the back of the chapel for you to review and to reach out to those in your hour, those next up, and also your hourly “captain” should the need arise.

We also encourage you to introduce yourself to the other adorer in your hour so that you can directly make arrangements should one or both of you not be able to make your hour.

In the event that you can’t find a fellow adorer, a friend or family member to cover your hour, please us the iPad kiosk by the sign in table and click on “Find a sub”. The password for that access is printed below the iPad. Fill in the information and send it out to the team of substitutes we are lucky to have!
