CHARLOTTE — St. Gabriel Church is changing nighttime access to its Perpetual Adoration Chapel starting Saturday, March 7.
Beginning March 7, people who would like to come for Eucharistic Adoration overnight from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. will need to schedule Adoration time through the parish ministry and obtain an access code for the chapel door, as the outer church doors will remain locked at night.
Daytime access to the Adoration Chapel from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. will remain open without the need for advance scheduling or an access code.
While the parish implements this new security procedure, the Adoration Chapel will be closed overnight only from Monday, March 2, to Friday, March 6. The chapel will remain open as usual from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. this week.

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is available at multiple locations around the Diocese of Charlotte, including the St. Joseph Chapel on the campus of Belmont Abbey College, located at 100 Belmont-Mt. Holly Road in Belmont; St. Aloysius Church’s Immaculate Heart of Mary Perpetual Adoration Chapel, located at 921 Second St. N.E. in Hickory; Pennybyrn at Maryfield Eucharistic Adoration Chapel in High Point; and St. Mark Church’s Monsignor Bellow Perpetual Adoration Chapel, located at 14740 Stumptown Road in Huntersville.
