RE & Chaplaincy Update
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.

June: The Month of the Sacred Heart
To assist our community in making the most of the month of the Sacred Heart this June, here are some devotions and resources that may be of help to young people and adults.
The Litany of the Sacred Heart helps us to meditate on different aspects of Jesus’ person. Pray it all or just sit and meditate on one that stands out to you.
Listen to the Litany of the Sacred Heart beautifully chanted as you meditate on the Sacred Heart and His love and mercy.
This video explains the promises that Jesus makes to those who are devoted to His Sacred Heart- with promises like this, who wouldn’t be! The promises are listed here.
Prayers to the sacred Heart can be found here.
You can consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart.
You can enthrone Jesus as King of your family. See another resource here.
More information can be found here.
I hop this helps to bring your family closer to Jesus in this month of the Sacred Heart.
Why not let me know how you get on by sharing your ideas and practices on twitter @MrFPearce or instagram- turnbullhs-re.
Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Mr Pearce
