Chaplaincy

Catholic education serves to support the healthy development of children and youth in a caring, Christ-centred learning environment. The London District Catholic School Board is rooted in Catholic education to embrace equity of outcomes for all students and grow to understand God’s loving embrace in the spirit of Jesus Christ.

One of the great benefits of attending St. Mary's is that chaplaincy services are available during the school year. Chaplaincy is a collaborative and cooperative ministry involving all students, staff and school community members. Keeping the spirit of faith alive, the Chaplaincy Leader works with staff and students to plan, co-ordinate, carry out and evaluate various projects and services throughout the school year.

Chaplaincy Services focus on providing opportunities for:

Liturgical celebrations
Ongoing Catechesis and Evangelization
Building and celebrating the community and solidarity
Participating in social justice projects, retreats, special religious activities, mission awareness and other community projects
Witnessing to the faith
Working with priests of the Diocese celebrating Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist

By focusing on Gospel values and Catholic Graduate Expectations, the chaplaincy leader accompanies students and staff members in their faith journey. Our Chaplain is available at all times and especially in times of difficulty; offering prayers and accompaniment on their spiritual journey.
