The School Chaplain
The School Chaplain is a faith presence in the school community who is available to all students and staff. He accompanies members of the school community on their journey through life. The Chaplain’s non-disciplinary role in the school enables him to develop a relationship of trust with the students, staff and parents.
The Chaplain participates in activities which relate to the well being and development of the school community, e.g. pastoral care meetings, student support team, school planning, evaluation, in-service.
As well as celebrating the key moments in the liturgical year, teaching, meeting with class groups and helping with various projects (e.g. 6th Year Leadership Programme, Transition Year Faith Friends, Lourdes Youth Helpers and the Ardmore Pilgrim Walk), the Chaplain is available to meet with students, staff and parents as the need arises.
The school Chaplain is committed to working closely with the R.E team and in collaboration with the various student support structures and personnel within the school community.
Prayer for Guidance
Lord, I know that you love me
and have great plans for me.
But sometimes I am overwhelmed
by the thought of my future.
Show me how to walk forward
one day at a time.
May I hear your call
to a life which will allow me
to love as only I can,
and allow me to serve others
with the special gifts
you have given me.
Amen
