The Chaplains’ work
The Chaplain is the priest who serves the
school, in some respects not unlike the clergy in a parish. They celebrate
the sacraments; they give pastoral care to the distressed, troubled and
bereaved; they support people in their faith and help others to come to
faith. Most of all, they are a guarantee of the Catholic nature of the
school. Yet the Chaplains alone do not give the school its distinctive ethos,
this is something which every member, staff, pupils and parents contribute
to. In this important sense the Chaplain is the leader, co-ordinator and
supporter of a body of people, all making contributions in their particular
ways.
