Prayer and Liturgy at St Brigid's
Prayer helps us to reflect, draw closer to God and make the right choices. Our children are becoming very independent when creating their reflective space and discussing a range of themes and topics. Using their knowledge of prayer alongside the ability to reflect on themselves and comparing what they do to the expectation of living in the light of God, children are able to work in small groups to reflect and share ideas. They are able to create prayers and connect with God in their own, meaningful way.
Throughout the school day, we pray together four times. We have a morning prayer, before lunch, after lunch and a home time prayer. We pray the school prayer together with actions. Our school prayer is:
Let our school, be a place,
Where happiness shines from every face.
A place to learn, a place to share,
To help each other and show we care.
God Bless our school, everyday,
St Brigid, hear us this we pray,
Amen
Our school Chapel was created solely with the ideas and drawings from our children. They had their say on what was needed and designed the wallpaper using a collection of Religious symbols and images. The Chapel is used as a reflective space during prayer and liturgy by all classes. It is open at breaks and lunches during special times in the Liturgical year, led by the Chaplains, to support prayers and allow children to have the time and space to be reflective.
