Oratory of Saint Mary Magdalene - Perpetual Adoration Chapel

Do you need to be Catholic to pray in the oratory?
Certainly not!  Anyone is welcome to come and pray in the oratory.

What if weekly is too much for me?  Are there other options for committing to an hour?
We also have biweekly (every other week) or monthly options.  Simply choose that option when you sign up.

What if I am traveling or sick over my scheduled hour?
The first option would be to ask a friend to cover for you.  If that doesn't work, you can request a sub.  Follow the instructions above.

Can I pray in the oratory if I'm not signed up?
Yes!  The devotion of those who commit to a holy hour makes it possible for the oratory to be open at all times so that anyone can come and pray at any time.

When is the oratory locked?
For the safety of committed adorers during the night, the oratory locks at 10:00 PM and opens again at 5:00 AM.  Those who have holy hours during that time and those who request are given a fob that allows access.

What if I just want to be a sub for my scheduled hour?
Being a sub is a great help (especially during the night hours).  To do so follow the sign-up instructions and choose a time frame for which you are available to substitute.

Can anyone come to Mass in the oratory?
Yes.  All are welcome.  We are no longer requiring a sign-up for this Mass.

Our new adoration software allows you to sign up for monthly and bi-weekly (every other week) commitments! 

Go to: saintv.weadorehim.com "log in" and then "create one now."  Enter your contact information.  If you'd like to be notified of substitute requests, click the hours that you are available on a daily basis; otherwise, unclick "notify me of sub-requests." 

Click "create account" at the bottom of the box. The adoration schedule for this week will open for you; click the hour you'd like to adore, enter the frequency (weekly, biweekly/every other week, monthly) and whether or not you'd like a reminder message, then click "sign up."  

To request a substitute for your holy hour, visit saintv.weadorehim.com and click "login." 

Enter your name and password, then click "my dashboard" from the "We Adore Him" homepage.  Click "request substitute" next to the date on which you need a sub and complete the request.  It will be sent out to the sub list when the date is one week away, and you will receive a notification when it has been accepted.  You may visit your dashboard to make sure that you've sent the request and see when it has been accepted.

Less than 6 Hours Notice
Our software will not accept a sub-request with less than 6 waking hours until the commitment; sub requests are not sent through the night.  If you cannot find a friend to fill in for you (the best option) click "request substitute."  Contact information for adorers whose commitments intersect your own will appear. Contact the adorer scheduled with you to let them know you will not be coming, or ask adorers before and after your time slot for coverage in an emergency.
