General Guidelines for Eucharistic Adoration

Your commitment is to spend time with our Lord and to be the guardian of His presence during your hour of Adoration.

• When you enter the chapel, genuflect or bow to the presence of Our Lord.

• Be considerate by maintaining silence in the chapel if others are present.

• Chanting, singing, or praying out loud is permitted under two circumstances: 1) when you are alone in the chapel - stop if someone else enters; and 2) if you are at a scheduled time slot where these forms of prayer are permitted - schedule posted on chapel door.

• No eating, drinking, or cell phone calling in the chapel.

• Adorers are encouraged to make use of the library located at the back of the chapel. Please do not remove any of the books from the chapel.

• Use of electronic devices is permitted to access prayer resources, spiritual readings, or sacred music. You must always use earphones with electronic devices and the sound must not disturb other adorers in the chapel.

• EMERGENCY TELEPHONE is in the library at the back of the chapel. If there is an emergency, call 911.

Fire or Disaster

1. Repose the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle and take the monstrance with you.

2. Call 911 - a phone is available at the back of the chapel for emergencies.

3. Vacate the chapel.

4. Remain outside until police/fire crews have arrived.

The Adoration Chapel is closed during the Easter Triduum. The Blessed Sacrament will be reposed before Mass on Holy Thursday and exposed again Easter Sunday.

The decision to close the Adoration Chapel for any other reason will be made by the Pastor. An email will be sent to Scheduled Adorers when the chapel closes and when it reopens.

Inclement Weather Closure:

• Will be posted on 9News.

• Call Parish Office, 303-233-6236. Outgoing message will include chapel closure info.

Your Commitment to Adore is a Blessing from the Lord

• It is essential that each hour be covered.

• The Blessed Sacrament must never be left alone.

• You are the committed Adorer and Guardian of the Eucharist at your hour.

Please Sign In

Each time you adore, please sign in at the desk outside the chapel. Please remind your substitute to sign in by putting their initials in the column next to your name.

Late or Absent

If you are going to be late, please contact the person who is scheduled to adore just prior to your hour. The schedule is available online.

If you are going to miss your assigned hour, please do one of the following:

• Contact another Adorer who is either assigned to the same hour or who frequently adores during your time slot. Ask them to cover your commitment.

• Submit an online Substitute Request Form.

• If all efforts fail, please contact the Adorer who has the hour before you and let them know you will not be there.

Tip - Try to get to know the Adorers who frequently adore at the same time of your commitment. Also, try to get to know other parish adorers so that you have a support group to call on when you must miss. See a list of current Adorers here.

Extended Absence or Removal from Adoration List

If you will have an extended absence because of illness or vacation, or if you are unable to continue attending your scheduled hour, please submit an Inquiry Form or email [email protected].
