St Richard’s Chaplaincy
St Richard’s Mission Statement
Comitas, Scientia, Caritas
St Richard’s Catholic College is a community where all are welcomed in the spirit of Christian love and respect.
Our school encourages the wonder and joy of learning in order to ensure that every pupil reaches their full potential.
We enable all to flourish and grow together in friendship and in faith.
We aspire to be courageous, having the integrity and the spiritual strength to make a positive difference in the world, both now and in the future. We endeavour to cherish our school motto of Community, Knowledge and Charity.
“I have come so that all may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10)
Chaplaincy Team
We are fortunate to have a strong Chaplaincy team, led by our Lay Chaplain, Jo Doyle. She is assisted by Liturgy Captains and Vice-Captains who are elected each year from Year 10 and Year 11 pupils. We are also supported by Priests who lead the sacramental programmes of the school. The Priests are regularly in school and are available to staff, pupils and parents. They lead assemblies, our full school Masses on special occasions and on Holy Days of Obligation.
What Do We Do?
The year Masses and form Masses are celebrated on a rota basis by the Priests of both Deaneries. We are fortunate to have a chapel on site and this is used for Liturgy on a regular basis. Each form group will have a designated Mass or Service in the chapel. Two form groups join together, working collaboratively to create the liturgy themselves. The Priests, together with the Lay Chaplain, are always ready to assist with the preparation of form and year Masses.
Twice a year in Advent and Lent, pupils are provided the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
