May 20, 2023, Letter of thanks and successes from Diocesan Chancellor
Dear Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration (www.perpetualeucharisticadoration.com),
I am a diocesan priest of Soroti Catholic Diocese in Uganda, Africa. I am also the diocesan youth chaplain and diocesan chancellor. I am writing to express gratitude to you and at the same time giving you information on the successes of the materials you sent me upon my request. I have almost become the Apostle of Adoration in my diocese; the bishop asks me now and then to give input about Eucharistic adoration thanks to your teaching materials.
First, I gave to our seminarians in the minor seminary where I teach, 253 of them, then to the catechists who were for training prior to their commissioning on March 20th, 384 of them. On the 19th of March in view of the diocesan day since our Diocese is under the patronage of St. Joseph, there was a popular mission, with open-air preaching to over 3000 people, all benefited. Last week on the 10th of this month, I had a privilege to share the same with 20 students of Emmaus training centre and on Friday to 14 seminarians on propaedeutic training. Isn’t that great? This can be counted as a success story.
At Immaculate Conception church in Soroti they sign up for half a day daily. Immediately after morning mass the sacrament is exposed in the adoration chapel till 6:00 p.m. Last week I participated and gave a teaching on ACTS of adoration. Many people appreciated the talk and others exclaimed that they had never known that ACTS formula of adoration… Adoration… Contrition… Thanksgiving… Supplication. Every Thursday it’s mandatory to expose the sacrament in every parish of our Diocese and I believe many people have come to appreciate it including non-Catholics, they find it enriching to have a one-on-one with adorable Jesus in the Eucharist.
I am indebted to you for your kindness for sharing the information, please send more as often as you get it.
God bless you all,
Padre Gonzaga Ongereny Waziwazi Msc, Diocesan Chancellor

When hands were tied, some parishes temporarily had parking lot adoration by putting the Monstrance facing window with scheduled adorer outside in their car in parking lot. Others increased or moved adoration to the main body of the church instead of their small chapel.

SUBMIT ARTICLES OR VIDEOS ON YOUR ADORATION CHAPELS
You can see many of the images of chapel we helped establish on our slideshow above. We would like to feature more on the existing adoration programs/chapels in Canada, especially those with round the clock adoration, as inspirations and examples for generating more adoration. If you would like to send us a video and/or report about your chapel please do. We can also help you to write and have an article published about your chapel.
You can submit information such as: name of parish, name of pastor at date of start up, date of Sign-Up weekend, date chapel opened, number of adorers, number of coordinators, hours and days with exposition, key features, graces and blessings, testimonies of adorers etc.)
Upload a video on your adoration chapel/program to YouTube:

Our Blessed Mother Mary is also known as the “House of God” and “Gate of Heaven” (Litany of the Blessed Virgin). Our Lady and her Immaculate Heart is the protectress and defender of adoration. St. Joseph, “terror of demons” is also a model adorer and protector. He found and prepared the manger where he first adored Jesus with Mary.

Considering the hundreds of thousands of hours of prayer that will be offered for decades ahead if a parish starts continual or extended Eucharistic adoration, it is a comparatively small amount of time and effort involved. Fewer suicides would take place with perpetual Eucharistic adoration chapels and the Immaculate Heart of Mary as safe refuges.
Most parishes have a Monstrance. Small Monstrances and custom granite indoor/outdoor sign promoting or dedicating adoration chapel or grave marker – free shipping are available through our Shop on this website.
