We've seen firsthand how moving your adoration chapel schedule online brings peace of mind to both coordinators and adorers.

But we also know the main parish office still handles plenty of other complex, paper-heavy tasks.

One of the most time-consuming? Managing the Mass Intention book. Between sticky notes, paper binders, manual calendar tracking, and handling cash or check offerings, keeping track of Mass intentions can eat up hours of the parish office's week.

That is why we are thrilled to introduce MassRequest.com—a brand-new, modern software solution designed from the ground up to help Catholic parishes easily receive, schedule, and manage Mass intentions online.

Zero Cost to Your Parish

We built MassRequest.com to be accessible to every Catholic community. The software is completely free for parishes to use. There are no setup fees, no monthly subscriptions, and no hidden contracts. Your parish budget remains completely untouched while your office gets a massive upgrade.

Software That Respects Canon Law

We know how vital it is for parish software to align with Church governance. MassRequest.com was built with a deep understanding of Catholic parish life, ensuring the platform respects and adheres to Canon Law regarding Mass offerings, scheduling stipulations, and fulfillment tracking.

Key Features You'll Love

MassRequest.com brings the same thoughtful design you love about We Adore Him into the parish office:

• Online Requests & Secure Offerings — Parishioners can browse available dates, request intentions, and securely submit offerings online from the comfort of home, significantly reducing office foot traffic and phone calls.
• Intuitive Intention Management — Effortlessly organize traditional practices like multiple intentions and specific calendar requests.
• Thoughtful Administrative Reports — Instantly generate financial printouts, intention summaries, and weekly schedules to keep your staff, priests, and bulletin editors perfectly aligned.

Ready to Simplify Your Parish Office?

If you love how automated scheduling transformed your adoration chapel, we are confident your parish staff will love what MassRequest.com does for the rectory. Whether you are a parish secretary looking to save hours of data entry, or a coordinator who wants to share a great tool with your pastor, we invite you to take a look.

Through the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Congregation for the Clergy, on December 8th, 2007, offered powerful recommendations to Bishops throughout the world to grow Jesus' Eucharistic kingdom. The encouragement given was based on Pope Benedict XVI's Apostolic Exhortation Sacramentum Caritatis.

The following is a summary of the Congregation's proposed plan of action:

1. That every diocese appoint a priest to devote his full-time work to bolstering belief in the Real Presence and growing love of Jesus through Eucharistic adoration.
2. That perpetual Eucharistic adoration be established, especially in densely populated areas at churches and oratories. These locations would be designated "Eucharistic Shrines" where an appointed priest could reside as rector.
3. That special emphasis be placed on catechizing the youth—notably those preparing for First Holy Communion—on the value and beauty of spending time with Jesus in Eucharistic adoration.

Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament influenced these ideas, which were issued on the great Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. She longs for the pure love of her heart for her Son to be extended through the hearts of all her children when receiving Holy Communion and adoring the Lord.

Here is how we can all help. Please join Mary in praying and offering sacrifice for the actualization of the Congregation's directives.

• Prayerfully imagine if every diocese enjoyed having a holy, humble priest working full-time to grow love for the Sacrament of Love.
• Ponder the power of more perpetual adoration chapels opening in parishes around the world.
• Dream of how glorious it would be for First Holy Communicants to better know and love spending time with Jesus, who is really, truly, and substantially present in the Eucharist.

Catholics worldwide are called to pray and offer up sacrifices, united to the Immaculate Heart, so that this incredible desire of heaven may come to pass more speedily. When you receive Holy Communion or renew your daily Marian Consecration, remember how you are called to pray and offer up sacrifices for this very intention.

To read the Congregation's recommendations in full, please visit the USCCB website.

May Our Lady, Mother of the Eucharist, obtain for each of us a deeper love of her Son in this most holy Sacrament. 🙏

Fr. Brian Beal is a priest of the Diocese of Columbus. He will come to your parish, offer Holy Mass, preach on the Real Presence, and catechize on the beauty and power of Eucharistic adoration. For more information, please contact Fr. Brian at 724-813-3298 or bbeal@columbuscatholic.org.

Today, we're introducing a monthly phone budget for your We Adore Him phone number.

Set a dollar amount at Admin » Settings » Phone Number, and once your site reaches it, texts and calls pause until the next month. Administrators are emailed at 80% and 100% of the budget.

It's off by default and easy to enable or disable any time. Learn more.

A New Easter Triduum Button

Starting on the Monday before Holy Week, an Easter Triduum button appears on the Calendar page for administrators. Click it to open a form with prepopulated dates — Holy Thursday evening through Easter Sunday — and a title field. Everything is adjustable to match your parish's schedule.

When you submit the form, We Adore Him closes every adoration hour in the date range, automatically cancels any open substitute requests for those hours, and shows you a list of affected adorers so you can message them about the closure.

An Email Reminder

To make sure it doesn't sneak up on you, We Adore Him sends administrators an email reminder on the Monday before Holy Week.

Learn more about the Easter Triduum and adoration.

We hope this feature helps you prepare for Holy Week with one less thing to worry about. Have a blessed Easter! 🕊️

But most of the world starts the week on Monday — including Europe, Australia, most of Asia, South America, and Africa. For chapels in these regions, a Sunday-start schedule didn't quite match expectations.

Now, We Adore Him automatically displays the week starting on the correct day based on your chapel's country. If your chapel is in a country where Monday is the first day of the week, your schedule and weekly views will all reflect that — no configuration needed. 🌍

For chapels in the United States and other Sunday-start countries, nothing changes.

This is part of our ongoing effort to make We Adore Him feel right at home for chapels around the world. Between expanded language support, localized date formatting, and now locale-appropriate weekly views, we want every adoration chapel — wherever it may be — to have a seamless experience.

Learn more about using We Adore Him internationally. And if you know of an adoration chapel outside the United States that could benefit from We Adore Him, we'd love an introduction! Get in touch with us.

Today, we're introducing bulk delete for visits! 🧹

You can delete multiple visits at once in two ways:

• Select specific rows — check the boxes next to individual visits, then click Delete Visits.
• Delete all filtered results — use the filters to narrow down visits (by date range, status, etc.), then click Delete Visits to remove everything matching your filters.

This feature was built from a coordinator request — thank you for the feedback! We hope it saves you time and keeps your visit data accurate. 🙏

Learn more about managing visits.

This Sunday, clocks spring forward from 1:59:59 AM to 3:00:00 AM.

Thus, the 2:00 AM hour "doesn't exist" (or so they say). 🕑 🤔

The 2:00 AM hour still appears on your adoration schedule, but nobody can sign up for it.

We recommend you notify the Sunday 2:00 AM adorers to NOT show up for adoration.

Or, don't notify them, and you'll have more adorers at the 3:00 AM hour. 🙏 🙏

To message the Sunday 2:00 AM adorers, visit Admin » Commitments and set the Day filter to Sunday and the Time filter to 2:00 AM. Then, click Message Adorers at the top of the page.

You should also notify all Sunday adorers to set their clocks forward an hour because they'll need to go to adoration an hour earlier that day.

To message the Sunday adorers, visit Admin » Commitments and set the Day filter to Sunday. Then, click Message Adorers at the top of the page.

To learn more, read our support article about Daylight Saving Time.

Now, adorers can request substitutes for multiple dates in a single text message conversation. After texting SUB, the system responds with their upcoming commitment dates. If they need a substitute for more than one date, they reply MORE. Then they simply enter the dates they need covered—like 1 and 2, 1, 2, 3, or 1-3—and the system creates a substitute request for each one.

No more repeating the process over and over for each date! 🎉

For more details, see our help article on requesting substitutes for multiple dates.

But what if an hour requires two or more adorers, and only one is committed? The urgent needs view wouldn't flag it, since someone is already signed up.

That's where the new Weekly Schedule: Full Coverage option comes in. It shows every recurring commitment needed to fully satisfy the minimum coverage for each open hour—not just the hours with zero adorers.

For example, if an hour requires a minimum of two adorers and only one is committed, the full coverage view will list the additional commitment still needed. This gives you the complete picture when recruiting adorers.

To use it, click Needs on the Schedule page and select Weekly Schedule: Full Coverage. Then copy and paste the list into your parish bulletin, email, or text message—just like before!

We hope this helps you fill your schedule and keep your chapel fully covered. 🙏

Several coordinators asked for a way to stop these emails, and today we're happy to introduce email address blocking. 🛡️

You can now block specific email addresses from the Admin » Emails page. The easiest way to find suspicious senders is to filter the list to show Adorer = Unknown, which displays emails from addresses that don't match any adorer in your system. From there, simply click the Block button next to any address you'd like to block.

Once an email address is blocked, all future incoming emails from that address will be silently ignored — they won't be forwarded to your forwarding email address.

If you ever block an email address by mistake, you can unblock it from the same page.

If you've used phone number blocking before, this works the same way — now you have full control over both email and phone communications. We hope this gives you peace of mind and keeps your inbox clean! 💪
