What's Chaplaincy?

Our Chaplaincy is an integral part of College life at SFX and serves the whole community, both students and staff. Our Catholic chaplains are available to offer help and support to everyone regardless of faith and beliefs.  The chaplains support prayer and worship and have a vital role in helping to plan and lead services and whole College events.  They also organise daily prayer and a weekly Mass. All are welcome.  Various programmes are run from the Chaplaincy to help students to identify and develop their unique and God-given talents and gifts.  The Chaplaincy Base is a space for all students to meet, make friends, have discussions and play games in an atmosphere of mutual respect.  The chaplains are always available to meet with students or staff and to listen and offer their support.  Retreats are also organised for all students and staff, offering them the chance to reflect and explore their spiritual beliefs and to meet and socialise in relaxing locations away from the stresses of life.

THE CHAPLAINCY BASE

“It’s the one space in the college where you can sit down and feel accepted, people will chat to you even if you’ve not met them before.”  Year 13 student

The Chaplaincy Base is a welcome space open to every member of the college community whether you’re a believer or not. It’s a place to relax, to meet old and new friends, play a board game, discuss the meaning of life, or just have some time on your own and read the paper.

The door is open (well sometimes its shut, but just to stop the 
draughts!) from 10.30am – 3.45pm most days.  Call in; it’s your space, with only one requirement:

That all people feel accepted, valued, and respected.
