Requesting Substitutes for Multiple Dates

What if an adorer needs substitutes for several dates?

Adorers can request substitutes for multiple dates at once via text message. They text SUB to the chapel's dedicated phone number, reply MORE when prompted, and then enter the dates they need covered, such as 1 and 2, 1, 2, 3, or 1 to 3.

    You are still responsible for these adoration hours until substitutes are found.

Requesting substitutes for multiple dates via text message

If an adorer will be gone for an extended period, here are some additional options:

  • The adorer can request a substitute for each date individually from their dashboard.

  • Administrators and captains can assign each date to other adorers.

  • The adorer can set an end date on their current commitment and create a new commitment starting on the day they will return. Another adorer can create a commitment to fill in the gap, starting on the day the first adorer leaves, and setting the end date to just before the first adorer returns.
