For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. - Matt. 18:20
"Latter-day Saint chapels are more than just houses of worship," President Ezra Taft Benson said at the Finglas Ireland Branch dedication on Sept. 10, 1980. "The stakes and districts of Zion are symbolic of the holy places spoken of by the Lord where His Saints are to gather in the last days as a refuge from the storm. You and your children will gather here to worship, to do sacred ordinances, to socialize, to learn, to perform in music, dance, drama, athletics, and to generally improve yourselves and one another." (The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 151.)
