Chaplaincy Team
St. John's Chaplaincy Team
Take a look below at some of the wonderful things we have done this year.....
Chaplaincy created a beautiful prayer space this year as part of the 'Year of Hope' and have been leading children and adults in quiet prayer and reflection at lunchtimes. As well as this, Chaplaincy have been busy monitoring prayer life around our school.
We went to visit the Jubilee Icon at St John's Catholic Church, as well as taking part in a special Jubilee Celebration day at St. Gregory's, where we have been able to reflect on how we can be pilgrims of hope to others.
Our Jubilee Celebration Mass was a very special way to end the school year, as we processed from our school to St. Alphege's Church and travelled through our very own 'Door of Hope', which Chaplaincy planned and decorated together.
The LiveSimply award is an opportunity for Catholic communities - parishes, schools, religious orders and chaplaincies - to respond to Pope Francis’ invitation in Laudato Si' to “work with generosity and tenderness in protecting this world which God has entrusted to us”.
As a school community we are on a journey with Christ towards the LiveSimply award.
The LiveSimply Award is awarded to schools who can show how they have been:
- living simply
- living in solidarity with people in poverty
- sustainably with creation.
Over the course of the year, we have been working towards our award with a number of different actions.
Want to raise money for Charity?
Chaplaincy are actively involved in lots of different charity work (see our charity page) across the year but are always open to new ideas. If you have a charity you would like support, write a letter explaining which Charity you would like to raise money/donations for, why you have chosen that Charity and how you plan to help. Chaplaincy Team will read all suggestions and decide which one to run in school and if it's possible to run an event.
