High Peak Chaplaincy
St Thomas More has always had a rich and vibrant tradition of Chaplaincy. It draws students from all faiths and none, and calls them to give back to the world. Through chaplaincy our students can learn more about themselves, their vocation, and how to “Be More” in all they do.
Dan is the ‘High Peak Chaplain’, and serves us and some of our Catholic Feeder Primary schools across the High Peak. It is his role to support and guide our young people and to help answer the big questions, but he is also on hand for any conversation. He is in St Thomas More on Tuesday’s and Friday’s and can be found in the Chapel.
If you want to keep up to date with all things High Peaks Chaplaincy please do check out our social media on Facebook and Instagram. I aim to use this as a way to keep people up to date with what is happening in the 4 schools but also in the wider Catholic Church and community.
