Adore for 24 - St Stephen's Chapelhttp://www.ststephens.qld.edu.au/What's On/latest-news-events/Pages/Adore-for-24---St-Stephen's-Chapel.aspxAdore for 24 - St Stephen's Chapel<p style="text-align:justify;">​We would like to invite all parents and friends of St Stephen’s School community to gather together on the 18th of October in a unique way of prayer; 24 hours of Eucharistic Adoration in St Stephen’s Chapel in Algester. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Pope John Paul II prayed for a perpetual adoration (24 hour) chapel in every parish in the world. He also urged priests, religious and lay people to continue and redouble their efforts to teach the younger generations the meaning and value of Eucharistic adoration. This is a beautiful way that we can do this, while also connecting the school and parish community in a very tangible way. The students of St. Stephen’s will attend Adoration at different times throughout the day and we invite parents and friends in the community to take part for 1 hour throughout the 24 hour period. A timesheet is available in the front office, please sign the slot that you can be present. </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><img alt="adorefor24.jpg" src="/What%27s%20On/latest-news-events/PublishingImages/adorefor24.jpg" style="margin:5px;width:639px;" /> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
