Chaplains

Chaplains Welcome

Our faith in Jesus Christ is the centre of our community at Christ the King, primarily through the core message of Jesus:

“Love your neighbour as you love yourself.” (Luke 10:27)

We aim to preach the Gospel message of Jesus in an approachable and accessible way, while still emphasizing the significance and importance of faith, and how it can work in each and every person’s life. We are a community that meets each student where they are and helps them along the journey to being the best person that they can be in all that they do. Making sure that each students realizes that they are made in the image and likeness of God and that they are special is paramount on this journey.

To do this, we place Faith at the centre of our School Community. As a Catholic school, we begin and end each day with prayer. The importance of demonstrating different types of prayer helps students to grow and build on the faith they have. Meditation, reflection, songs, videos, poems, and silence are all ways of praying that we encourage in order that each student can grow and learn.

This growth and education can also be achieved through the opportunity to attend Confession and Mass within school and at Good Shepherd Church, by leading and taking part in form Liturgical Prayer, by being a form prayer representative and by being part of the Chaplaincy Team. The students take an active part in fundraising as well as the pastoral care of all who attend Christ the King and this is due to the strong and spirited community that is present in school.

We are blessed to have a beautiful Chapel with the Blessed Sacrament reserved in it and this is a place of prayer and reflection which is open at every break and lunchtime. It is our hope that during their time as part of our community that both students and staff are able to grow in faith and in understanding.

Meet Our Chaplains!

Hey I’m Vicky and I am a chaplain here at CTK. I am a mum of three and have spent most of my life teaching and helping young people. I started here in January 2024 and have loved getting to know everyone!

Hey guys I’m Beth and I began my journey here in Chaplaincy here in September 2023. The year before, I worked at the Briars retreat centre for a year; here I got to meet around 5000 young people and is the reason that I wanted to go into this job today. I can’t wait to continue to work with you all here at CTK so please come down to the chapel to have a chat!
