Prayer and Collective Worship
Worship and Prayer Statement
‘God is not a stranger in the Catholic School and prayer is seen as an essential part of each school day, with the celebration of the Eucharist being the most important occasion for the whole school community to express its belief as a faith community.’
Our Catholic Schools – Their Identity and their Purpose Red Book
3rd Edition June 2010
We aim to:
- Provide opportunities for the development of a personal relationship with God
- Enable the spiritual development of each child to flourish
- Provide a good experience of liturgy
- Enable children to become familiar with the traditional forms of prayer used in the Catholic Church as well as experiencing a variety of formal and informal prayer settings
- Experience a sense of belonging to a worshipping community
Guidelines for Worship and Prayer
At St Ignatius all children are welcomed to participate in daily worship. We gather together at Masses, liturgies, and through whole-school and in-class worship.
Our collective worship is based on the 4-part structure:
- Gather
- Listening
- Responding
- Going Forth
We pray regularly throughout the school day and have opportunity to reflect and be still in our Prayer Garden .
