GUIDELINES FOR ADORATION

  • Genuflect and make the Sign of the Cross upon entering into the presence of the Lord.
  • Never touch the Monstrance containing the Most Blessed Sacrament.
  • Maintain silent, quiet reverence in the presence of Our Lord.  If you need to talk to someone, leave the church and hold your conversation elsewhere.
  • Do not sermonize or preach. Adoration is a peaceful, private time for each adorer.
  • Silence all mobile devices. No headphones or electronics with sound may be used.
  • Be mindful of proper and modest attire.
  • Refrain from eating or drinking in the church, including chewing gum or hard candy.

The church provides devotional and reading materials to assist you in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Return borrowed items so that others may use them. Do not add any books, religious articles, or pamphlets to the church’s materials unless explicitly approved by the Pastor.
