| Welcome to the Educational Chaplaincy in the Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh where we have a passionate commitment to exploring new directions and methods in caring for and educating our community towards a vibrant future. |
| Educational Chaplaincy operates on various levels throughout the Archdiocese: |
- Each Secondary School aims to have a Lay Chaplaincy Team whose function is to lead and support pupils and staff in all areas of pastoral care. Bereavement is the predominant need and concern. Our fully qualified Chaplaincy personnel are well equipped to cope with this important aspect of life together with the myriad pastoral care needs of today’s youth.
- Each Secondary School has at least one priest who is at the heart of the Chaplaincy Team taking care of sacramental needs throughout the school community. Support is also offered by simply ‘being around’ in the day-to-day existence of school life.
- Each Secondary School has access to personal support from a member of the Religious Education team who is available to visit and support the Archdiocesan programme.

Each Secondary School is encouraged to update by making the most of the various inservice opportunities available to all staff. Suitable candidates are encouraged to avail themselves of the Post Graduate Diploma in Chaplaincy Studies which is validated by the Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh in conjunction with the University of Maynooth. |
