Adoration:
NOTE: The Exposition Chapel is currently closed due to the mandatory quarantine. You may join us on a live-stream of Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at 7:00 AM each morning during the quarantine by accessing the parish Facebook page via WWW.CatholicTwinsburg.org. As the restrictions are relaxed, we plan to have a Benediction in the main church. Further information will be posted.
During the regular season, SS. Cosmas and Damian Parish has near-perpetual adoration in our Exposition Chapel. The chapel can be accessed by the outside door on the south-west corner of the church building, by the stairs that leads to the priests’ house. To gain access, ring the doorbell and the current adorer will let you in. Please, limit unscheduled visits for between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Note that the Exposition Chapel will not be available when a Mass is being celebrated in the main church.
To make a commitment to an hour of adoration each week, please contact the parish offices. There is no need to be a parishioner to participate in this ministry.
Rules of the Adoration:
Please do not touch the monstrance or the tabernacle. If there is an issue, the phone in the hallway can be used to contact the parish office or authorities. Please keep the chapel uncluttered and clean. You may share an hour with other adorers, but please respect each other’s quiet time. Please respect the posted signs when the Exposition Chapel is closed.

NOTE: The daily Mass will be live-streamed from the parish Facebook page via WWW.CatholicTwinsburg.org. Monday through Friday, the Mass will be at 8:30 AM.
