CHAPLAINCY

Chaplaincy

 

Grange Community College has a full-time school chaplain. 

Currently our Chaplain is Laura McCarthy. 

As a multi denominational school Grange CC welcomes students of all religions and none. The principal role of the school chaplain is to support the school community in a pastoral capacity. At some point in our lives all of us need some kind of support. The chaplain provides an open-door whereby all members of the school community can receive support in a confidential and safe way. The chaplain also works closely with the religion and IMBV (Identity, Multi-Belief and Values Education) departments and seeks to promote the spiritual aspects of these programmes.  

Activities undertaken by the chaplain include: 

  • One-to-one student support 

  • Religion teaching 

  • Liturgy celebration 

  • Graduation ceremonies 

  • Charity and outreach involvement 

  • Promote student well being 

  • Care team member 

  • Mindfulness and meditation 

  • Mark and celebrate major feasts and seasons of the various religious years
