Need a Sub?If you are committed to an Adoration hour and have an expected absence, you are asked to ensure that there is at least one person attending the full hour.
If you have an Adoration "partner" (other person(s) committed to your hour), contact your partner about your expected absence to ensure it will be covered. If so, no further action is necessary.
If you do not have a partner, or your partner is also unable to attend, you are asked to try to find a substitute. Please follow the instructions below.
Still can't find a sub? Please contact the committed adorer scheduled immediately before you, so that they know not to wait for you and can be prepared to repose the Blessed Sacrament, if necessary. Contact information for fellow adorers can be found by following steps 1, 2, and 4 below.
To Request a Sub Online:
- Visit the Request a Sub page on the AdorationPro website.
- Enter the password. (This is found in your weekly reminder email. You can also contact Jim McQuillan or Isaac Huss for the password.)
- From there, you can choose to "Send Auto Sub Request," which will send an email to all the relevant substitutes. If someone accepts your request, you will be notified via email.
- You also have the option to "Manually Find a Sub from a List," which will show you all the names and contact information (emails and phone numbers) of both the subs and the committed adorers, which you can use to contact people individually.

About
Nativity began Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration on May 1, 1994. Since then, the Eucharist has been revered continually — and is present in a special way — in the Perpetual Adortion Chapel, located in the northeast corner of the church. There, Our Lord is adored 24 hours a day except during Mass, when the Eucharistic sacrifice is celebrated as a community.
- Please see above for modified Adoration times as of July 1, 2021.
All parishioners are welcomed and encouraged to spend time in Jesus' presence whenever possible. Hundreds of parishioners and members of the surrounding community have made a commitment to pray in the chapel for a specific time each week. Adorers use this time to pray, to say the Rosary, to read, or simply reflect.
If you are interested in signing up to become a regular adorer, refer to the directions above to find an hour that works for you and sign up online.
You can also contact Jim McQuillan at mcquillanj@rjffs.com or (763) 746-8244 to become a committed adorer or dedicated substitute, to cancel your commitment, or for general questions. -
Novena to the Sacred Heart
Please pray for more generous volunteers to visit our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament for his honor and our sanctification!
Either the shorter or the longer prayer is to be said each day for nine days.
Shorter Novena prayer:
Saint Margaret Mary, you who were made a partaker of the divine treasures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, obtain for us, we beseech thee, from this adorable Heart, the graces we need for the success of this Adoration Chapel. We ask these favors of you with unbounded confidence. May the divine Heart of Jesus be pleased to bestow them upon us through your intercession, so that once again He may be loved and glorified through you. Amen.
Longer:O my Jesus, you have said: "Truly I say to you, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you." Behold I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of new scheduled adorers.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in you.
O my Jesus, you have said: "Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you." Behold, in your name, I ask the Father for the grace of new dedicated substitute volunteers.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in you.O my Jesus, you have said: "Truly I say to you, heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away." Encouraged by your infallible words I now ask for the grace of families to join together to share the responsibility of one hour each week.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in you.O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, your tender Mother and ours.
Our Father...
