Our school is concerned with preparing young people for life. Inthe Catholic tradition we mean by that life in the fullest sense -the academic, the vocational, the spiritual, the religious and moral.
Our task is to build our school community of St. Margaret's sothat all our work, our attitudes, our behaviour and our relationshipsare shaped by gospel values. Sharing the revelation that Christ isthe foundation of all will bring meaning and coherence to our school.A number of our families and pupils are not Catholic. They are verywelcome in our school and encouraged to participate as fully aspossible in school life.
The school has a Liturgy Group which prepares the Liturgy forSchool Masses and other services. School Masses are celebrated onHolydays of Obligation and Class Masses are held from time to time,as are occasional para liturgical prayers, the Stations of the Cross,the Rosary, renewal of Baptismal promises and Advent/Lenten Services.
The school has a centrally located Chapel within which the BlessedSacrament is reserved. The Chapel is open throughout the day forquiet reflection and prayer.
The school is most fortunate in having three enthusiasticchaplains: Fr Gerry Prior from St Peter's Parish in Livingston, FrGordon Muchall of St. Andrew's Parish in Livingston and Fr AlanChambers from St Philip's Parish in Livingston. Frs Gerry, Gordon andAlan spend time every week in the school ministering to the needs ofpupils and staff. Sr Maureen and Deacon Duncan McFarlane are membersof the Chaplaincy team which meets once a term to plan and arrangeprogrammes for Advent and Lent.
