“The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease.”
- Pope St. John Paul II

Increasing Adoration Hours
Efforts to restore perpetual eucharistic adoration in the Mother of Mercy Adoration Chapel here at St. Gertrude continue. Currently, the chapel is open from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. every day. Volunteers are still needed during many of these hours. Nevertheless, to accommodate the desires and schedules of others who are interested, an incremental approach will be taken to restore the nighttime hours beginning with Wednesday and Saturday nights--but we can do so only if we have a commitment of two adorers for every hour through the night.
Please consider using one hour of the time God gives you to spend time with the Lord Jesus in his eucharistic presence. To sign up for adoration, please click the button below or call or stop in the parish office. With your help, we can increase the hours of adoration at our parish.

Our Mother of Mercy Chapel is typically open 24 hours per day, seven days per week. As St. Gertrude continues to navigate the pandemic, we are currently offering a modified eucharistic adoration schedule (7:30 a.m.-9:00 p.m. daily) with an eye to the future when we return to perpetual adoration. If you would like to sign up as a regular, weekly adorer, click the button above.
In eucharistic adoration, Jesus is exposed in the Blessed Sacrament and rests in the beautiful monstrance on the altar. Our ministry is committed to providing 2–3 adorers each hour of the day and night so that Jesus is never left alone. We know our parish has—will—experience many blessings as a result of this commitment. You need only spend one hour per week or month of prayer and presence in the chapel to help us with our 24/7 commitment. We can schedule that at your convenience. We are also in need of substitute adorers, which might better suit your availability. We have a notification system in place, should a regularly scheduled adorer not make his or her time on a particular day. All folks on the sub list would be notified of this need and could then respond via email. |
