Welcome back and thank you to all of our Adorers for your time and patience! The Anima Christi Chapel is now open 24-7.
Here are some reminders:
 
The New Curtain is to be used ONLY Before or After an OPEN hour, when NO person is scheduled before or after your hour.  On the table, there is a card with Prayers for you to pray when the Monstrance is Veiled or Unveiled, gently closing the curtain before the Monstrance.
 
In the event that you are unable to attend your hour, please find a substitute. There is a new sub list in the right hand drawer of the table. Please take one. If you are unable to find a sub, please call your Captain.
Please always contact your Captain with the name and phone # of your substitute, so they can be notified of closings or changes. Call Joan or Adele if your Captain is unavailable. Phone numbers for Captains, Joan and Adele are located on the Adoration Schedule posted above the table. Please jot down your Captain’s name/ number or enter into your cell phone.
 
The bulletin board above the table has space for Requesting a Sub and also to Sign-up to fill Sub requests. Please fill in sub info so others know your request has been filled and also as a ‘heads up’ for the adorers before/after your hour.
 
In the event of an emergency, please call 911. The phone in the chapel may be used for outgoing emergency calls only.
 
Winter Precaution: If the Grand Haven/Spring Lake Public Schools are closed, then the Chapel is closed. You will receive a call for closings.
The outer doors of the building lock at 9 pm. The new code is 0908#.
 
Again, our thanks and blessings to all of you!
