St. Therese Chapel is open 24/7! Please see the PEA (Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration) schedule in the chapel or narthex for vacant hours.
Our goal is to have two (2) committed Adorers per hour! All are welcome!
“Jesus is not an idea, a feeling, a memory! Jesus is a person, always alive and present with us! Love Jesus present in the Eucharist. The Eucharist, in the Mass and outside of the Mass, is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, and is therefore deserving of the worship that is given to the living God, and to Him alone”(Pope John Paul).
The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: by not only celebrating it but also by praying before it outside of Mass we are enabled to make contact with the very wellspring of grace...which prolongs and increases the fruits of our communion in the body and blood of the Lord.”

Adoration Reminders
It is important to having all spots filled, especially the early morning hours and the late night hours filled with two Adorers. Realizing, that this is not an easy task, we asked everybody to work on solutions: ask a friend, a family member, a co-worker, to come and sign up for one of these critical hours, or come with you, if you are not comfortable with being there all by yourself.
To further lighten up this situation was the fact, that Fr. David had an alarm system installed, which brings the Police right to the Chapel after you push and hold the button for a couple of seconds, located at the entrance door and at the Emergency Exit at the chapel room. There is a telephone in the kitchen. It is for Emergency calls only.
Attendance continues to be a concern. Please be diligent in attending or getting/providing a backup. Make your arrangements early if possible, ask the people around your schedule (in all directions) for help, call your hourly coordinator, your division leader, the Substitute Coordinator or Anita.
Please pay attention when signing up for your Holy Hour: if you are a committed Adorer, use that signup sheet. If you are a guest, please use the guest sheet. You are also a guest when you come outside your committed hour. Confusion arises when we transfer the sign-in sheets to another ledger designed for the Bishop.
Please review and use your Adorers Information Packet, which has an answer to all your questions. It says in there among other things:
if you bring books into the Library, do not put them into the shelves; they will be marked and put into place by one of our Librarians. Do not bring publications from other organizations, please.
