The work of Chaplaincy at Saint Pius X Catholic High School is to witness to Catholic faith, and to help to keep the rumour of a loving and caring God alive across our learning community of seven schools. Our chaplaincy co-ordinator plays a vital role in the organisation of chaplaincy events in school.
These events enable staff and students to be a part of a school wide chaplaincy team playing leading roles in proclaiming the gospel message of the risen Christ. Wath Wood Road, Wath-upon-Dearne, Rotherham, Yorkshire, S63 7PQ
