The Our Lady of Victory Adoration Chapel will be open each day (M-F) from 10am until 4pm beginning Monday, October 26. There are strict protocols for entering the Chapel. You can only sit together IF you arrived in the same car. Otherwise, spacing is an absolute must. This limits us to a MAXIMUM of 4 people – presuming it is two cars of people. Ordinarily only 1 or 2 at the most should be in the chapel. Adorers are expected to be masked at all times, to clean the pew once they leave, and to purify their hands on the way in and the way out. The restroom will be closed. We will close the Hall of Saints for daily prayer at the same time.

No Standing. Absolutely no sitting anywhere but in pews.
Seating arrangements are as follows:

• One person, one pew - maximum 2 people
• Two people traveling in same car sit in the same pew - maximum 3 people
• Two people arriving in same car and two are already seated together in one pew - maximum 4 people

No other configurations are permitted and strict adherence is required otherwise we have no alternative but to close the Adoration Chapel. Please be considerate.

There is one pew in the front and one pew in the back. Please remember to disinfect what you touched, leave the kneeler up, and if you are alone, close the tabernacle doors before you leave. 
Remember you are on camera - violators will be asked to refrain from returning. Chapel may close again with no notice.

Jesus Christ, you traveled through towns and villages “curing every disease and illness.” At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love.

Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care.

Heal us from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another.

Heal us from our pride, which can make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders.

Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.

Be with those who have died from the virus. May they be at rest with you in your eternal peace.

Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace.

Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know your protection and peace.

Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May they know your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth.

Whether we are home or abroad, surrounded by many people suffering from this illness or only a few, Jesus Christ, stay with us as we endure and mourn, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us your peace.

Jesus Christ, heal us.
