AMDG
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will resume in the Sodality Chapel from 2pm – 4pm on a Wednesday afternoon.

It is the afternoon when those involved in the Arrupe Programme are out working with those in particular need in the wider community and so it will be good for others to be here praying with and for them.

If members of staff want to bring groups of students, please feel free to do so. It would be helpful, though, if you would let me know in advance so that we can ensure there is enough room for everyone.

All in the Aloysian Community are very welcome to come along and to make use of this wonderful gift, praying for your own needs, the needs of all in the Aloysian community and the needs of our world. However, please make sure that if you are not a pupil or member of staff, you enter via the main door of the senior school, that you sign in and that you receive an authorised identity badge before heading up to the chapel. This is essential for fire and safety precautions.

You will be very welcome.

With my prayers, thanks and very best wishes,

Fr Simon Bishop SJ

(Senior School Chaplain)
