Senior School Religious Education

We celebrate Mass as a school on the first and last day of every term as well as every first Friday of the month. Weekly communion services are also held. Our chaplain, Fr Jerome Aranes, also visits the school every Wednesday to provide our learners who are Catholic with an opportunity for the sacrament of Reconciliation. We also prepare our learners for First Confession, as well as First Communion and Confirmation. For all our services, which include Reconciliation services, chapel services and feast day celebrations, we depend on learner participation. We never have a shortage of volunteers to read, serve at the Altar, pray and act in paraliturgy. Learners of all creeds feel quite comfortable sharing their faith and experiences.

Our Family Day mass is a special Marist family celebration where we come together as a family to celebrate Sunday Mass. We welcome past pupils and their families as well as those who are part of the school's history, to join us on this occasion. We do this twice a year.

We welcome parent participation in our liturgical evants and our Religious Education (RE) programme. The RE committee of the Governing Body has especially been instrumental in this regard.

We as a school continue to be deeply committed to the religious ethos of the school and we know that our founder, St Marcellin Champagnat, watches over us every step of the way.

As a Catholic and Marist school we are conscious of the need for us to be both sensitive to and attempt to meet the social needs of our country and city.
