Term is off to a great start and despite the challenges that we face, it is great to have our young people back in RE and participating in the faith life of the school!
We are seeing excellent things from our new S1 who have been learning about various forms of prayer and praying in class. Their maturity during Lectio Divina (Christian Meditation) was impressive and now they turn to studying the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in greater depth. S2 have been learning about the sacraments of vocation and having studied Holy Orders and completed a family learning task, they have begun to learn about the sacrament of Holy Matrimony.
S3 have studied philosophical arguments for the exitance of God and are now looking at what it means to be a disciple by learning from scripture and the lives of the saints.
Chaplaincy
It is tricky to maintain a ‘normal’ chaplaincy programme but the following arrangements are being made to allow for covid regulations.
Monday Medidtation- an opportunity for peace and reflection for seniors. S4, 5 and 6 will rotate each week.
Aid to the Church in Need group will recommence on Tuesday Lunchtimes for S1 and 2. S1 in RE room 2 and S2 in RE room 1.
Thursday Mass starts at 8.45 and is open to BGE pupils.
Pray and you go- Each week on Show My Homework, all pupils, staff and parents will have access to a guided meditation with music and prayer that can be accessed at any time.
There will be short inserts at assembly each Monday via Microsoft Teams.
Staff chaplaincy continues to be provided in our Teams group.
Please keep our school community in your prayers and encourage your young people to be involved in our Unique Catholic Identity.
