How Notre Dame Fulfils Catholic Social Teaching - The Student Perspective
As part of our Core RE/PTE programme the L6 were asked to use their knowledge of Catholic Social Teaching to explain, evaluate and personally respond to the question 'How does Notre Dame fulfil Catholic Social Teaching?'
"Another value Notre Dame fulfils is subsidiary. The college makes sures everyone’s views, cultures and religion are respected, not only respected but celebrated, an example is Culture Day when everyone comes together to celebrate and respect different cultures as Notre believes we are all human and equal despite our ethnicity, religion, or views."
"Notre Dame helps us students become aware and recognise others across the world who face bigger struggles than us, therefore fulfilling the teaching of solidarity even further, as it influences Notre Dame students to actively help others where possible through volunteering, part of our Stella Maris Leadership Award."
"In Notre Dame all four principles of Catholic Social Teaching are fulfilled. We can see the solidarity between teachers and students. Achievement Tutors are all actively working for their good, even if all of us might not face the same struggles. We are all recognising and respecting others as our brothers and sisters."
Chaplaincy Support
Our Lay Chaplain is always on hand to support Notre Dame students spiritually and emotionally, regardless of their beliefs. Anne Merry, our Lay Chaplain is based in MB35 and operates and open door policy so you are welcome to drop in and have a chat. The Chaplaincy area is a welcoming space for anyone to visit.
The Catholic faith underpins all aspects of our college life, and we are here to help you explore, understand and grow in faith. Chaplaincy at Notre Dame is here to support all students whatever your experience of faith is.
We are fortunate to have use of the University Chapel for morning prayer and weekday Mass. The Student Chaplaincy Team get involved in and lead a wide variety of activities from Prayer and Liturgy to Charitable Action. Throughout your time at Notre Dame, you will have opportunities to journey in pilgrimage, with the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes being the largest of these.
