Collective Worship

At Venerable Edward Morgan we recognise the importance of living by the Gospel values. Each Monday morning the school gathers to celebrate Sunday's Gospel preparing us for the week ahead.

The Pupil Profile Virtues are very important to us and we try to live out these virtues both in school and in our lives outside of school. Often the pupils help to explain how we can live out these virtues and this celebrated in assemblies at the end of the week.

During the week class worship is led by our pupils and teachers. Groups of pupils plan and carry out a class Celebration of the Word linked to the current RE topic, the current virtues or the liturgical year.

At the end of the week we gather together as a whole school to celebrate our faith journey and the talents God has given us.

Prayer and Liturgy

Prayer and liturgy in Venerable Edward Morgan celebrates God’s presence in our lives. It is our loving response, in word and action, to God’s invitation to enter into relationship, made possible through the work of Jesus Christ and the witness of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer and liturgy are central to the daily life of the school. We provide opportunities for children's spiritual growth and development through participation in a variety of forms of worship and through experiencing all forms of prayer: formal, informal, spontaneous, private, shared, petitionary and meditative.

The Key events of our liturgical year are celebrated in many forms such as whole school Masses, attending Mass with our Parish on Holy Days, Advent Carol Services, Nativity performances, Lent liturgies, Holy Week liturgies, Stations of the Cross, the Rosary. Pupils are actively involved in planning and leading worship (Gweddiwn) both in class groups and whole school settings. Shared acts of worship take place in an atmosphere of reflection and stillness, where we encourage each other to listen to God speaking to us and to respond.
