catholic formation
1. The Catholic formation of students is a primary goal of St Aloysius College. This is achieved through the entire educational concept endorsed by
the College and, in particular, through the Chaplaincy. The College actively encourages Catholic students to deepen their understanding and
practice of the faith. Students from other faith backgrounds are welcomed with respect and we seek to accompany each one on his/her way to God.
2. The Sixth Form Chaplain is assisted by a team of students and staff who make up the Chaplaincy. We seek to contribute to the all-round well-being of
young people through authentic spirituality, in an atmosphere of community and with a spirit of service.
3. Holy Mass is celebrated daily, at 7:15am, before the beginning of lectures, in the Sixth Form Chapel. The Chapel is an oasis of peace and quiet.
4. A weekly Mass is celebrated in the Assembly Hall on Fridays at 09.15. During this time, no other lectures or activities take place. Students as well as
teachers are warmly invited to participate so that all may give and receive support in their practice of the spiritual life and express their communion in
faith.
5. The Chaplain is available for confession, spiritual direction and vocation discernment. The Chaplaincy offers opportunities for growth in a young
Christian Life Community through the establishment of such communities. Liturgical celebration and participation are offered through the
well-attended and prayerful special liturgies held in the College Church at Christmas, Ash Wednesday and Easter. Advent and Lent are both marked
with appropriate liturgical preparation.
6. The Chaplaincy promotes awareness raising on human rights, peace, fair trade, poverty and ecological justice through stands, displays or other
initiatives such as the Orange Campaign and the Fair Trade Stand, as well as through various initiatives for voluntary work.
7. The Sixth Form Chaplaincy is our students’ link with in Ygo , the Ignatian Youth Network, a gateway to faithbuilding activities: live-ins, retreats,
dynamic youth gatherings locally and abroad, as well as summer voluntary work experiences in Europe and in Africa, with the all-important
element of getting personally involved. Further information is available on the website: www.inygo.jesuit.org.mt
