Faith Life

The Cardinal Wiseman Catholic School is a strong community centred on Jesus and founded on Christian faith, love and the teachings of the Catholic Church. The spiritual and religious life of the school are enhanced through liturgies, retreats, prayer, social justice events and awareness of God’s Presence in all things.

We are blessed with a full-time Chaplain, Mary Boland and a part time assistant Chaplain, Claire Andrew. However, the success of Chaplaincy depends on the collaboration and support from a cross section of staff, students, parents, governors and local clergy who all share their gifts of time and talent to make these activities possible.

Although our Chaplain’s do not have a formal counselling role in the school, they are available for students, staff & parents should they need to speak to someone. Our Chaplain’s serve to support and pray with anyone who is in need.

Our beautiful chapel is located at the heart of the school and is used daily for worship, prayer and learning.

Virtual Prayer Board

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Philippians 4:6

This prayer board is available to the whole of our school community. Please let us know how we can pray for you or if you have a special intention. All requests will remain anonymous. The requests are prayed for every Friday during our time of Adoration.

Please send prayer requests to: prayer@wiseman.ealing.sch.uk

Family Fast Day

‘None of us can think we are exempt from concerns for the poor and for social justice.’

Pope Francis

The media is continuously reminding us of the millions of people around the world, including those in our local community, who are living in poverty. Pope Francis once called for young people to ‘get their hands dirty’ in the fight against poverty, urging people to tackle the needs of the poor in our local, national and global communities. Our school community is constantly striving for the Common Good and equality for all, so that we may live up to our duty to be stewards of creation, and be true brothers and sisters to our global family. This is a key element of our school ethos, “All Things for Christ “.

This Thursday, 2nd October, our community will be holding our bi-annual Hunger Lunch for all staff and students. On this day we are supporting the work of CAFOD, which looks after the needs of those living in poverty worldwide.

On this day a limited lunch menu will be offered to all students and staff and all money raised will go to Cafod. For those students who do not use the canteen but wish to make a donation, a collection bucket will be available on the day in the canteen and reception there will also be the option to make a donation via Parent Pay if you wish.

Ealing Foodbank

At The Cardinal Wiseman, supporting our local foodbank is an important part of living out our faith in action. Students and staff come together throughout the year to donate non-perishable items, organize collections, and raise awareness about food poverty in the community. These efforts not only provide essential help to families in need but also nurture a spirit of compassion, service, and social responsibility among our young people. By working with the foodbank regularly, the school demonstrates its commitment to Gospel values and strengthens its connection with the wider community.
