You might want to find out if this is a tabernacle that has a little door that can be opened by worshippers that exposes the Blessed Sacrament in a “self-contained Monstrance” as a integral part of the tabernacle. It allows for spontaneous Adoration w/o an organized schedule. When one comes, they open the window in reverence and close it when they leave. Many retreat centers and hospital chapels have these types of tabernacles.A chapel on campus where I work advertises it has Eucharistic Adoration everyday from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. I have gone there and find the Eucharist isn’t exposed, but is in the tabernacle behind the altar. Is that still considered Eucharistic Adoration? I’ve only been Catholic since Easter 2006 so I’m still learning about some of these things. I thought Eucharistic Adoration meant the Eucharist was exposed in a monstrance.
