FCJ Chaplaincy Team

In the name Faithful Companions of Jesus’, the congregation of Sisters, we find our inspiration for what chaplaincy means here. Companionship is central to all that that shapes our chaplaincy.  As companions, we are encouraged to walk alongside our pupils, to accompany and be present with and for them as they step towards maturity. 

The FCJ Chaplaincy Team is formed of staff and pupils across all year groups. It is made up of people of all faiths and none, working collaboratively in companionship to bear witness as Christians and make a valuable contribution to developing ideas among members of the school community.  We meet once a term to discuss, foster, encourage and facilitate the spiritual and moral development of the school.  We also have a strong and supportive team of visiting priests gathering from Westminster Diocese and beyond to support the work of our FCJ Chaplaincy team. 

Marie Madeleine and the desire to impact the world for good

‘From the time of Marie Madeleine d’Houet, the values taught by Jesus Christ – the invitation to personal excellence, the demands of justice, the call to companionship, the desire to impact our world for good – have been at the heart of FCJ school life.  We embrace this tradition that God has entrusted to us, educators and students alike, with deep pride and gratitude and intend to carry it forward for God’s greater honour and glory.’  Sr Marguerite Byron FCJ
