† FROM OUR PASTOR, FR. TROHA

Our Adoration Chapel is open twenty-four hours a day, almost every day of the year. We close the chapel for the weekend of the Oktoberfest in July. We also close the chapel during the Easter Triduum during Holy Week. The Tina Ard Ralph Kimpton Triduum would be from Holy Thursday evening until Easter Stacey Artino Mickey Kostelnik Sunday evening. Counting from evening to evening makes Christine Ball Sam Kovalak for three days. The news about the Adoration Chapel is that the clear disk has been restored to the door of the taber- Jean Barry Kathleen Murphy nacle so that you may see the Holy Eucharist reposed inside Lu Brienik Carmen Polly the tabernacle. Actually, the clear disk had been inside the tabernacle itself Larry Brown Mila Reynolds since the day it had been replaced by the brass disk. That took place some- David Green Eric Rolf where around 2008. There are shutters on the outside of the tabernacle that Diana Eisman Jason Triozzi should be closed if no one is in the chapel. So when you visit the Adoration Chapel you may have to open the shutters for your visit.
