Chaplaincy Team

Hi we are the school chaplaincy team. It is our responsibility to plan and deliver creative assemblies and acts of worship across the school. It is our hope that our liturgies, inspired by Scripture, will inspire you to act and behave as God wants us to.

As well as creating our own liturgies we are also tasked with helping children in KS2 and KS1 with theirs; we support with ideas and helping children use the correct planning sheets.

If there is anything you would like to know about our team or how we fulfil our duties as school chaplains please come and ask us.

Thank you to our Chaplaincy Team who led Year 4, 5 and 6 in our Advent Reconciliation Service this afternoon. May our special footprints help to keep us on the right path as we wait in hope to welcome Jesus at Christmas. Thank you Fr Joe & Fr Dennis for making this possible too.

Well done to the chaplaincy team who supported selling the fair trade chocolate to raise money for CAFOD.

Thank you to all the children and their families who joined us in Church yesterday to lead Mass to celebrate the feast of Christ the King. You read beautifully and sang with such enthusiasm as you shared your faith with others. @OLoLChaplaincy @BishopPMcKinney

This afternoon the chaplaincy team went over to church to support with a community parish event. The children enjoyed serving sandwiches, cakes, biscuits as well as serving tea and coffee and loved meeting new people. They even sung happy birthday to one of the parish members.

Thank you to our Chaplaincy Team who led us in our Epiphany Mass today. The wise men were brave & trusted the star to guide them on their journey to meet Jesus. We too mustn’t be afraid to answer God’s call & see the difference Jesus can make to our lives. @BishopPMcKinney

Today our Chaplaincy Team led us in our Advent Reconciliation Service. Just as the wise men were guided by a star to meet baby Jesus, we wrote our mistakes on stars and promised to be a light & a guide to others during this time of preparation.@BishopPMcKinney @OLoLChaplaincy
