Eucharistic Adoration Weather Alert

If weather conditions make it unsafe to drive, Our Lord Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, will be reposed.  Reposing the Most Blessed Sacrament will be determined by the closing of St. Joseph School or early dismissal.  If St. Joseph's School is closed, or dismissed early, it will not be necessary for you to go to your holy hour. School closings will be announced on various TV & radio stations as well as the internet. To obtain this information go to channels, 2, 4, 5, or KMOX radio or their internet service. 
EXPOSITION WILL BEGIN AGAIN AT 7:00 A.M. THE FOLLOWING MORNING.
 
As you are aware, unfavorable weather conditions are not always as predicted. If Our Lord has been reposed due to possible severe weather, and if the conditions for driving are safe, it is our hope that you will keep faithful to your holy hour and adore Our Lord reserved in the tabernacle.  Exposition in the monstrance is not required for Eucharistic Adoration.

*What is the difference between Eucharistic Adoration and Eucharistic Exposition?

Eucharistic Adoration is prayer before the Blessed Sacrament housed within the tabernacle. 
Eucharistic Exposition is the ritual by which the Blessed Sacrament is displayed outside the tabernacle in a monstrance or ciborium for public veneration by the faithful.  Quoted from: (Thirty-One Questions on Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Bishops' Committee on the Liturgy United State Conference of Catholic Bishops)

There may be times that it may be necessary to call or contact adorers by telephone or e-mail.  If this happens it will be important that we have your current telephone number and/or e-mail address. (e-mail addresses will not be published on list)  Please check your name and number on the list above the sign in table, if your telephone number is different, contact us at: ADOREHISREALPRESENCE@CHARTER.NET with the correct number, or by telephone call: 

Steve @ 288-1156 or Sharon @636-447-3673

Without your faithful commitment, exposition would be impossible, as it is necessary to have at least one adorer present while the Most Blessed Sacrament is exposed in the monstrance.
Eucharistic Adoration gives you, your family, our parish, as well as the surrounding community, many graces and blessings. When we adore Him, whether exposed in the monstrance or reposed in the tabernacle, we are stating our belief that this is Jesus Christ in His Real Presence.  

Your continued devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament may be the means Our Lord will use to bring others to know and adore Him too.  Thank you for your faithfulness.
