FAQs
What should I do while I am there?
Remember you are truly there with Jesus. It is good to spend some time in prayer first, after which you can read the Bible, pray the rosary, or spend time just talking with Jesus. There is a bookshelf outside the Chapel door with Bibles and other books and pamphlets that you might be interested in. Always remember Jesus is TRULY present and is VERY HAPPY you came to spend time with Him.
What does it mean to be a committed Adorer?
You commit to one or more hour(s) a week. This means you will be there every week for the hour(s) you signed up for.
What do I do if I'm sick or unable to come to my committed hour?
If you have a prayer partner, call them. If you don't, try to find a family member or friend who will fill in for you. If you are unable to do so, call the coordinator as a last resort.

The Importance of Eucharistic Adoration
The importance of Eucharistic Adoration is shown in the fact that the Church has a ritual that regulates it: the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction. This is an extension of the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament which occurs in every Mass: "Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb." Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament flows from the sacrifice of the Mass and serves to deepen our hunger for Communion with Christ and the rest of the Church. The Rite concludes with the ordained minister blessing the faithful with the Blessed Sacrament.
Some important prayers that are used during this rite include the Anima Christi (en español) and the Tantum Ergo.
Holy Hours
Holy hours are the Roman Catholic devotional tradition of spending an hour in Eucharistic Adoration in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. The bishops have created a variety of holy hours that focus our prayer to Jesus Christ on peace, life, vocations, and other topics that are at the heart of the life of the Church and the world.

Dear Adorer,
Thank you for answering His call to adore His Real Presence in the Eucharist. By saying “yes” to Him who has invited you, you become one of a long line of worshipers throughout the centuries who have answered His Call, extending from the angels, shepherds, and Magi at the stable in Bethlehem to our Adorers here in Queen Creek. This mystical union of adoring souls has sustained the very heart of the Church. Perpetual Adoration is the giving of your time to the Lord. For such a commitment, the graces and blessings that will be bestowed upon you and your loved ones will abound in this life and will be beyond measure in the next. We are grateful that you have chosen to make the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus a priority in your life. This is a sign of thee strength of our Faith and the strength of your belief in the power of prayer through silent adoration of our Lord in the Eucharist. May He who is ever-present bless you and protect you. May our Most Holy Mother, Mary, under her title of our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, draw you ever closer to her Son in His Real Presence in the Eucharist. Chapel Decorum
Respect for Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is displayed in the following ways: 1. Genuflect upon entering the presence of the Lord. (This can be a full kneeling position with head bowed to the floor or with head bowed. In case of physical limitations, a respectful bowing of the head is acceptable) 2. Be mindful of proper respectful and modest attire. 3. Maintain an austere reverence (no talking) in the presence of Our Lord. Leave the Chapel if there is a need to speak to someone and hold your conversation quietly outside the Chapel area. 4. No spontaneous unscheduled events, distracting behavior, or sermonizing is permitted. Silence and quiet prayer before Our Lord ensures that others are not distracted or that undue attention is drawn to oneself. 5. Never eat or drink in the Chapel. Chewing gum or eating candy in the Chapel is not respectful. 6. Radios, 3 M players, CD players, cellular phones and other such devices are only to be used in the Chapel with appropriate headphones. 7. Nothing is to be placed on the altar of repose. Nor should it be approached. 8. Spiritual reading material provided is never to be removed from the Chapel. |
General Information for Adorers
Your commitment to adore is a blessing from the Lord. As a Guardian of the Eucharist during your hour, it is your responsibility to insure that the Blessed Sacrament is never left alone. To insure that the Blessed Sacrament is never left alone, please observe these procedures: Sign in at the beginning of your assigned hour of adoration. This way, the Adorer you are relieving can check the sign-in sheet before leaving the Chapel area to confirm that you are the Adorer who is scheduled for the next hour. This will inform the departing Adorer that you are relieving him or her for the entire next hour and not someone who has arrived for a short visit. When leaving after your hour of Adoration, be sure to check the sign-in sheet to verify that you are being relieved for the next hour. Eucharistic Chapel Emergency Procedures
If you are unable to attend at your scheduled hour, please text Liz Gonzalez at 480 220-8092, at least 2 hours prior to give enough time to find a substitute. Should you have any problem during your hour of adoration, such as illness, or if the Adorer who is to follow you in adoration does not arrive, you can close the curtain and leave. If anyone |
