Chaplaincy

Our Chaplaincy Team, under the leadership of Miss Marie-France Bogui, serves the needs of our school community with compassion and wisdom. Miss Marie provides a listening ear, a loving heart, and wise guidance to help individuals navigate life's challenges. Chaplaincy fosters positive relationships with one another and with Christ, providing a peaceful environment for contemplation, prayer, and reflection in our beautiful College Chapel. The presence of the Blessed Sacrament therein offers a sense of divine presence and sanctuary.

Daily prayer and liturgy offer students opportunities for reflection and spiritual growth. Chapel Assemblies, led by the Chaplain and occasionally by student groups, centre around the liturgical calendar and the Celebration of the Word, exploring important themes such as ‘The 5 Respects’ and our College's Mission Statement.

Mass holds a central place in Catholic worship. The College celebrates Mass on Holy Days of Obligation and other significant occasions for the College, including the Immaculate Conception and St Joseph’s Day. On St John Baptiste de La Salle, the College takes part in a Lasallian District Prayer Service, praying with other Lasallian school students in Great Britain, Ireland and Malta. Morning Masses are also held on the last Wednesday of the month. Additionally, during Advent and Lent,
students are invited to take part in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, fostering spiritual renewal. Rosaries are recited weekly in May and October, and the Stations of the Cross are observed during Lent.
