Spiritual Life
Being part of a Catholic school community is very special. God has blessed us all with many talents, skills and opportunities. We have family and friends to help, support and encourage us. God calls on all of us to work as hard as we can to use our talents, abilities & skills in the service of others.
At Holy Family, we aim to develop our spirituality in many different ways. We find time for prayer, liturgy, scripture study, reflection and meditation. We communicate with each other and learn to share our ideas, thoughts and excitement. We celebrate together on special occasions and when we have achieved something by working hard, either individually or collectively. We serve each other in many roles of responsibility including prayer partners, liturgy leaders, reading partners, sports leaders, playground buddies, house captains, library monitors, eco-monitors and school council representatives.
We learn the importance of sharing our anxieties, worries or concerns as our friends can help us in difficult times.
We also learn how important it is to help, support and care for those who are less fortunate than ourselves. We enjoy supporting charities locally, nationally and internationally as well as being fully involved in our local community through work with our parish or local care homes.
In the last year, we have supported the following charities:
- Missio
- CAFOD
- Save the Children
- Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal
- Woking Homeless
- Grass Roots
- Enable Me
- St Vincent de Paul Society
- Chertsey Foodbank
- Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital
We understand that when we were baptised, the light of Christ was ignited in our hearts. It is our responsibility to make sure that light continues to shine brightly so that everyone we meet will come to know God through us. Our monthly awards of Holy Family Flames are a regular reminder of the light of Christ burning brightly in our school.
