Thursday Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will soon be re-starting in the Adoration Chapel at St Joseph’s Church, Kinvara, after the final jobs are completed on a full refurbishment of the Adoration Chapel.

Each week (except for July and August), the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed from after the 10am Mass until 7.30pm in the evening. Everybody will be welcome to drop in for time in quiet prayer and peace in the presence of Jesus present on the altar, at any time on the Thursdays.

But, we also need some people who would make a more permanent commitment to be present for one of the hours of the day every week, to ensure that there is someone with the Blessed Sacrament at all times while the Adoration is going on. Thank you to those who have volunteered for this so far. If you would like to commit for a particular hour every week, please contact either Bina Mitchell or Fr Hugh.

The Adoration Chapel has been drylined and a new constant-temperature radiator has been installed, so the cold will not be a problem. Proper ventilation has been added. Inner windows have been installed to reduce noise from outside and exclude draughts. A HEPA filter will be in operation to protect against Covid-19. There is a new altar and new flooring, as well as new ceiling design and all is newly painted. Pictures and descriptions will follow when the Adoration Chapel is fully ready.
