Welcome to the Carmel Centre
The
Carmel Centre is situated within the grounds of St Edmund’s Catholic Secondary
School in Dover, Kent. The idea to have a joint education and community centre
with a Christian ethos came as a response to the Archbishop’s Vision document,
‘Towards a Vision for Our Diocese’ referred to in the Advent pastoral letter
of 2006.The project started with the idea of creating a flexible learning space for the school’s RPS (Religious Personal Studies) department and community chaplaincy by converting a corridor, an RPS classroom and a former toilet block. Over summer 2007, the proposed area for the new Carmel Centre went under construction. After only two months of walls being demolished and a reconstruction project taking place, the new Carmel Centre was opened in September 2007 to students of St Edmund’s for RPS lessons and spiritual learning.
OUR SERVICES
The Carmel Centre plans to offer both the school and the community a sense of welcoming and ownership through the Community Chaplaincy project and its specialised team. The Carmel Centre is a new and modern facility available to the wider community to apply to use. The Chaplaincy Team will organise school and community events to take place within the Carmel Centre, but school students and the community are encouraged to organise their own events to develop their faith together.
