St John Plessington Catholic College

Chaplaincy is an important part of Catholic schools and exists to help in bringing the ethos of the school to life.

Chaplaincy is dedicated to guiding the liturgical life of our school, providing spiritual and pastoral care and sharing the light of Christ’s love with our whole school family.

The role of Chaplaincy at SJP

• “To empower the school community to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in the world today;

• To draw the school community into responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Church;

• To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each person in the school community.” 

[School Ethos and Chaplaincy, Second Edition, David O’Malley]

“Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that…I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit” Philippians 1:27
