can adoration, perpetual or otherwise, be set up in a private residence, not including a rectory?

No. And for good reason. Can you imagine the abuse?!can adoration, perpetual or otherwise, be set up in a private residence, not including a rectory?
I knew a priest in Louisiana who was fighting the satanic cults there. They NEED the Blessed Sacrament in order to perform what they call a “black mass,” where everything is done backwards and the Blessed Sacrament is abused horribly. These groups are real, and they will stop at nothing to get what they want. Good thing this guy was a big guy (he played football at Notre Dame in his day (lineman) and would’ve been drafted by the NFL had he not become a priest. They constantly threatened his life. Once, they came into his office and levitated a book on his desk. He just laughed at them and said, “Got any other tricks?” He wasn’t scared, but he had to have police watch his residence carefully.

In general, no. It can be done with the explicit permission of the local bishop, so it isn’t outright impossible, but the chance of a bishop giving such approval is very very unlikely, unless there are some rather unusual circumstances.can adoration, perpetual or otherwise, be set up in a private residence, not including a rectory?

This is the most comprehensive document. The bottom line is that the permission of the ordinary is required for exposition.
In the good old times there were private chapels in some residences, and those held temporary exposition. On that time perpetual adoration was granted only for religious communities, who could grant continuous attendance.
Here is an article on preserving the Eucharist in private home (page down to the Host chapter)

in accordance with the constant practice and canons of the Church no one may keep the Eucharist on their person or in their home. If a bishop were to grant permission for the Lord to be reserved in a private home, it would have to be in a suitable chapel, with a secure Tabernacle, just as in a parish Church. Further, Mass must be celebrated there and the Eucharist periodically renewed.

Our pastor said that they are not allowed to reserve the Eucharist in the rectory. But the sisters who live in the parish can reserve it in their convent. I guess because the rectory is not a religious house.

The rectory is where the priests of the parish reside. They would not need to reserve the Blessed Sacrament there, since they would have access to the church whenever they needed.Our pastor said that they are not allowed to reserve the Eucharist in the rectory. But the sisters who live in the parish can reserve it in their convent. I guess because the rectory is not a religious house.
The sisters are allowed to reserve the Blessed Sacrament in their chapel or oratory, with the permission of the local ordinary, and the requirement that Mass is celebrated there with the necessary frequency, not specifically because it is a religious house.

It’s because the convent has a proper oratory. There are times when a rectory has a private chapel, again designated by the bishop, but this is also rare, and it’s usually only done if the priest is infirm, or if the rectory is a good distance away from the church proper. The bottom line is that unless the building is an actual parish church, or an oratory of a religious congregation, special permission from the bishop is needed.Our pastor said that they are not allowed to reserve the Eucharist in the rectory. But the sisters who live in the parish can reserve it in their convent. I guess because the rectory is not a religious house.
Can. 934 §1. The Most Holy Eucharist:
1/ must be reserved in the cathedral church or its equivalent, in every parish church, and in a church or oratory connected to the house of a religious institute or society of apostolic life;
2/ can be reserved in the chapel of the bishop and, with the permission of the local ordinary, in other churches, oratories, and chapels.
§2. In sacred places where the Most Holy Eucharist is reserved, there must always be someone responsible for it and, insofar as possible, a priest is to celebrate Mass there at least twice a month.
Can. 935 No one is permitted to keep the Eucharist on one’s person or to carry it around, unless pastoral necessity urges it and the prescripts of the diocesan bishop are observed.
Can. 936 In the house of a religious institute or some other pious house, the Most Holy Eucharist is to be reserved only in the church or principal oratory attached to the house. For a just cause, however, the ordinary can also permit it to be reserved in another oratory of the same house.

That must be why our pastor celebrated Mass for them once a month in their chapel. In a sense it seems rather unnecessary for them to reserve the Blessed Sacrament since they are just as close to the church as the rectory is and they attend Mass in the church every day.The sisters are allowed to reserve the Blessed Sacrament in their chapel or oratory, with the permission of the local ordinary, and the requirement that Mass is celebrated there with the necessary frequency, not specifically because it is a religious house.

no not without permission from the bishop which would only be granted in exceptional circumstances (for a convent of sisters where a priest visits only infrequently, for instance). It is absolutely forbidden for a layperson to take the sacred species home for this purpose, and a very grave offense and sacrilege.can adoration, perpetual or otherwise, be set up in a private residence, not including a rectory?
