Chaplaincy
Mrs Forkin is out Lay Chaplain, who helps nurture the liturgical life of St Gabriel’s school community. Mrs Forkin also helps facilitate the Gift Team. Chaplaincy plays a central role in all areas of school life. The St Teresa Chapel is based on the mathematics corridor and is open for all members of our school community for a quiet space to reflect and pray. It is also used extensively by our GIFT Teams to plan charity and liturgical events.
Gift Team
St Gabriel’s Gift Team (Growing in Faith Together) has 30 members, that are active in their liturgical role in the school. The Gift Team supports students in gaining more confidence in leading prayer and becoming active members of the local Parish communities. Our GIFT Teams meet each week and aims to share with others that which is most sacred in our school, the Good News of Jesus Christ. A different student each week leads the meeting, which encourages leadership skills and increases students’ confidence in public speaking. All members of our school community are given opportunities to respond, reflect, and act upon this message.
