It has long been the custom within the Church to spend time adoring the Lord, who is truly present in the Eucharist reserved in the Tabernacle. Exposition is when the Eucharist, the consecrated host (bread) that is the Body of Christ, is exposed so that we can see and adore (worship) Him.
Yes! He’s in the tabernacle. The red sanctuary lamp is lit as a simple reminder that Jesus is present and waiting for you in the Tabernacle.
Some prefer to spend the whole time in contemplative silence, conversing with our Lord. Others may begin with devotional prayers such as the rosary. Spiritual reading about the lives of the saints or books on Christian spirituality can also aid our prayer and meditation. However you choose to pray, the time spent in adoration is never a waste.
Yes! Once you register and pick up your personal access keycard at the parish office you will be able to access the chapel at all times, day or night.
Yes! The chapel will remain open 24/7. We are working to get to 24/7 exposition, but it will take more people committing to fill all the adoration slots. You will always be able to come and pray in the chapel.
No. You cannot share your personal access keycard with anyone - even your spouse or children. For security purposes, everyone who signs up for an hour needs their own personal keycard. Children under the legal age cannot be assigned an hour on their own, but they may adore their family.
