Chaplaincy

Welcome to the Chaplaincy at St. Mary’s High school.  The Chaplaincy is made up of the members of the whole school community remembering that each one of us has a network of relationships that

we bring with us wherever we go.

 

Our mission statement calls us :

To live, love and learn in the light of Christ.

As a welcoming and supportive community of faith sharing in the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of all.

 

Our school is under the patronage of Mary – the Mother of Jesus and our mother. She walks with us on the road of discipleship. Each year, we celebrate one of her feast-days.

 

What is important to us here in St.Mary’s is the quality of our relationships – with God, with each other, with those we meet and with our world.

Every day, either in the whole Year Assemblies or in Form Registration, time is given to reflection and prayer which is based on the events of the Church’s liturgical life,  or community  life or events in our world.

We begin each day by praying our school prayer together – we invite you to join with us:

         Loving God, as I begin this day,

        Help me to live my life to the best of

            my ability

To be open to love who love me

        To respond to those who need me

        To forgive those who hurt me

        And to appreciate the world in which

            I live.

 

The school chaplain co-ordinates and provides opportunities for all members of the school community to nourish their spiritual selves. 

Some of these opportunities are shared with you on this website if you wish to join us.....

Chaplaincy Matters:

 

The chaplain endeavours to continue to ensure that relationships are strengthened both within the school community and beyond the school – to parents,  parishioners and the local community. Relations are also made with the other local Christian denominations and other faiths.   

 


 

 

Just a reminder that during Lent there is the

Good Shepherd Collection

for the Hallam Diocese and the caring services they provide.

_______________

 

To date, the only form that I know that has collected just over a metre of 10ps is

7JH

I am sure there must be other forms...

 

Please can you help us make a good contribution to the Diocese as it tries to meet the needs of those who need care.

Thanks

Sr Susan
