General Information for each assigned Adorer

1. Each time you adore you MUST sign in: The Hourly Coordinators will be checking the sign-in sheet weekly to make sure that every hour is covered.2. The procedure to follow when you cannot come to the chapel at your assigned time: Never leave an answering machine message; continue calling until you reach someone.
a) Contact the person who is assigned to adore at the same hour you are and let them know you are unable to be there.

b) If this fails, you should try to get a substitute from the substitute list.

c) Try calling an Adorer with the same hour but different day. You may find it necessary to switch days for some important reason during the year.

d) If you cannot get a substitute, contact your Hourly Coordinator.

e) If you cannot reach your Hourly Coordinator, contact their backup.

f) If you cannot reach the backup Hourly Coordinator, contact your Division Leader.

g) If all else fails, contact the Head Coordinators.

Please do not contact the parish office. If you do you will be instructed to follow a - g.
(A Master list of Adorers and a substitute list will be available inside the chapel on the shelves.)

3. You may want to consider increasing your spiritual reading and prayer, especially for:
Our Church, our Pope, our pastor, and all priests, our family, our parish, our community, our country & its leaders, and the world, the right to life, peace, the intentions listed in our Book of Prayers Requested, vocations to the Priesthood & Religious Life, and that which weighs heavily on your heart.

4. Encourage others to sign up for adoration…or to become occasional adorers.

5. If you wish, complete a prayers requested form, available inside the chapel. Our calligraphers will add your intentions to our Book of Prayers Requested.

6. Record your favors granted in the Favors Granted book located inside the chapel.

8. A restroom is located just outside the chapel.

The following Chapel Rules are to be observed by all adorers:

1. Please arrive approximately 5 minutes before your scheduled hour.

2. Please sign in for your hour of adoration at the beginning of your hour. This tells the person leaving that you have arrived and they are free to go.

3. Check the sign-in sheet before you leave to be sure the next person scheduled is in the chapel before you go. If the person assigned to the hour after yours does not show up, and you choose to be the substitute for the next hour, sign-in again and put the words "unscheduled substitute" after your name. This lets the Hourly Coordinator know an unscheduled absence took place and they can resolve the situation. If you are the only adorer and cannot stay call the scheduled adorer to see if they have forgotten, if they cannot be reached call their Hourly Coordinator.

4. No material of any kind is to be placed in the chapel unless authorized by the Head Coordinator.

5. Spiritual reading material provided is never to be removed from the chapel. Personal copies may be obtained by contacting the Chapel Librarian, Fran Weise.

6. The chapel telephone, located is for Emergency Use Only.

7. Know the procedures for contacting a substitute or making emergency calls.
