St Aloysius’ Church Re-opens!

Together with our Jesuit community and local parish, we celebrated the re-opening of St. Aloysius’ Jesuit Church, Glasgow and 400 years of Jesuits in Britain with a beautiful Mass on Friday 17th of March, St. Patrick’s Day.

We are very thankful to have been able to celebrate this special occasion in the church, which has never looked so amazing. Afterward, we welcomed guests back to the College Hall for some refreshments and to spend time together as one community.

Our young people did a great service in assisting with the Mass - which included taking part in the offertory procession and beautiful singing from our Schola.

The Church has had a long connection with the College - and it is still where we celebrate Mass and hold our weekly assemblies in Senior School.

Parish Outreach

Our Junior School Chaplaincy Team had recently been reflecting on ways that a difference can be made throughout the year, and pupils came up with the Tin and Toy Appeal - which involves two different donation drives designed to help a wide range of people in our community - encouraging donations of vital foodbank supplies and pre-loved toys.

The drive was a huge success, with pupils taking lots of donated toys and groceries down to St Aloysius’ Church. The groceries will be donated to the local foodbank, with the toys going to refugees who are taking part in the parish’s ESOL classes.

These donations were met with such appreciation, we even received some thank-you notes from the new toy owners!
