St. Maurice's Adoration Chapel, The Chapel of the Annunciation, has been open to parishioners and registered guests since March 26, 2007, the feast of the Annunciation of the Lord.
The Adoration Chapel is a place to spend some quiet time with our Lord, to pray, meditate, read holy scripture, or just sit and let peace enter your heart. It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Anyone who has an access card can visit the Lord any time, any day. Currently, there are over 700 registered adorers.
Ideally, the chapel should never be empty. Many people have signed up for a regular hour each week to spend time with God. With busy lives and so many distractions, a scheduled time ensures that God will be part of our busy lives.
Jesus is waiting there for you to visit Him, to be with Him for a few minutes, an hour, or as long as you want or need. He is always there for us; He has so much to give us, if only we let Him.
For more information on the chapel, or to obtain an access card, contact Tony or Diane Liuzzo at 613-226-9457.
The Adoration Chapel should always have someone in attendance. We encourage not only individual parishioners but also the members within St. Maurice ministries or associations to fill vacant hours.
Again, this is another opportunity for us to go into the desert to receive from the heart of God the Father the graces He desires to impart to us. This would be as simple as taking one hour throughout the Lenten season.
If you are able to take an hour out of your day to sit in attendance, please contact Tony or Diane.
Here is a table with the schedule.
Families with children are welcome to adore in the chapel during the following hours:
Sunday: 2:00-3:00 pm
