Lighting a candle in our Adoration Chapel is a way of extending our prayer and showing solidarity with the person on whose behalf the prayer is offered.  This rich and ancient practice probably has its origins in the burning of lights at the tombs of the martyrs in the catacombs.  Candle and book care volunteers are responsible for maintaining and replenishing the candles that surround the Tabernacle in the Adoration Chapel.  They also are asked to straighten up the hymnals and missalettes in the pews.  Volunteers are usually scheduled once a month.  Substitutes are needed and appreciated, too!
