Faith, Philosophy and Ethos

The central feature of Mazenod College is its commitment to the values and traditions of the Catholic Faith. Special focus is given to the liturgical and sacramental life of the Church, so that an encounter with Jesus Christ is made possible.

The opportunity is available for students to be part of a worshipping community. The community atmosphere at Mazenod is nurtured and enhanced by a genuine attempt to build a faith-conscious environment. Students are encouraged to develop their faith and to seek a personal relationship with God, not just in the Religious Education classes but also within all areas of the curriculum.

This personal relationship is strengthened within the context of a community. Each family is encouraged to be an active member of their Parish.

There are, happily, a number of students at the college who are not of the Catholic Faith and they are valued as a full member of our community. Their religious beliefs and traditions are respected.
