DO YOU WANT OR NEED MORE HELP?

You are welcome to contact us for other practical resources for starting or increasing Adoration in your parish or diocese such as…

A parish visit, preparing a space/place for adoration, brainstorming/strategizing options, arranging or researching any desired security, organizing your Sign-Up weekend, partial-mini Sign-ups, adoration speakers, recollections, talks/conferences, formation of coordinators/adorers, help with planning and timelines, building and mentoring/coaching your team, linking up with another seasoned coordinator etc.

Many additional digital resources are available.  We are not selling them and do not claim responsibility or credit for those we have not authored, yet give thanks for the generous treasures provided on other corresponding websites.

A list of links is posted below for your convenience. We apologize and please feel welcome to let us know if you discover that any of these links are not functional.

SIGN-UP WEEKEND AND CHAPEL ORGANIZATION

Invitation:

At the Adoration Invitation Sign-Up weekend at your parish, copies of this Invitation below will be handed out, completed and collected:

For booster/renewal weekends, a contact phone number can be personalized into this editable version or you can remove the last line before printing copies:

The Invitation can be provided in any language upon request.

At the end of the weekend, after all of completed Invitations are collected, based on the response, the pastor may decide to allow perpetual adoration around the clock or partial perpetual hours.

Note:  Upon request, for some definitive part-time only or mini Sign-Ups or if you are doing your own in-house Sign-Up (DIY), if you need a customized Invitation to a Weekly Holy Hour that has check boxes for only pre-selected specific days and hours (for example with each hour from 7am-10pm, excluding Mass times, daily or  on certain days) we can prepare and provide this. See our Coordinator Resources for more samples.

Some sample part-time Adoration Invitation Sign-Up Forms:

Sign-Up Instructions:

The sign-up results have proven to be more effective using the sign-up instructions we prefer to recommend/use that have already been provided above of having the Invitations and pencils handed out and gathered at Mass, but here are other methods some have used:

Miscellaneous Documents:

Adorer Scheduling:

Our suggested Adorer Scheduling template Excel is under the main Coordinator & Parish Resources page.  Here is another version with some other features, but it does not include the Visitors Sign-In which is good to have in order to recruit new adorers:

Sample of what one parish has on their website:

Sample of a parish that pays to use Adoration Pro Sign Up and Tracking System. As of 2022, they charge around $50US per month: (note – we/Eucharistic Adoration provide/offer a different, simple and free Adoration Scheduling system that we will provide for you upon request by email or snail mail, which does not include automated phonecalls for substitutes). Please let us know if you decide to go with this program:

As of 2022, they offer the first few months for free and then charge about $50US per month and includes a feature to fundraise to your own adorers to cover the cost (i.e. 50 adorers could offer $12US a year, or 25 adorers could offer $25US/year. It has a feature for automated texts and calls to find substitutes. Please let us know if you decide to go with this program: (note – We/Eucharistic Adoration offer/provide a different, simple and free Adoration Scheduling system that we will provide for you upon request by email or snail mail, which does not include automated texts and call outs for substitutes):

Parish’s Annual Adoration Program Closing Policies:

Those who signed up at Mass were informed that they would be called and submitted their contact information for the purposes of organizing adoration. If at any time, an adorer requests their name and number not be shared with others for adoration, comply with their request. In this case, they can be listed in the Sign-In book as Scheduled Adorer 1, Scheduled Adorer 2 etc. If you have a publicized parish privacy policy, you could ask adorers to fill out a consent to sharing of information form. For example:

Ecclesiastically Approved Worksheets on Location for Adoration:

  • Having an Adoration Invitation Sign-up weekend schedules adorers to cover hours
  • Place for adoration is normally selected before or on the Sign-Up weekend
  • Location is ready before adoration starts, usually 4-6 weeks after Sign-up
  • A quiet and peaceful place reduces distractions and is conducive to prayer
  • Bishops benefit from the great graces perpetual adoration brings to their dioceses and by promoting it in their parishes
  • Each local ordinary may have guidelines and requirements for location or renovations
 

Chapel Location and Set Up Worksheets:

SAMPLE BOOKS AND BOOKLETS FOR ADORATION CHAPELS:

Often parishioners have Catholic books that contain the Church’s Imprimatur that they would like to donate to their parish chapel or library. The coordinator can note on the book “Please leave this book in the adoration chapel”.  (See Adoration Chapel Guidelines above for more details).

We hope to be able and can try to provide some Catholic books (new or second hand) for your chapel.

We thank and give credit to all of the above sources for preparing, sharing and providing such a vast collection of adoration materials. We are open to suggestions for improvement. Please send us any links for resources you think should be added. Our goal is to promote or provide orthodox resources that are faithful to the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church.

For adoration starters, founders and adorers that have gone Home to God already, we give thanks and ask for your intercessory prayers, blessings and protection.

Our Lady of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration, pray for us!
