Duc in altum’, ‘out into the deep’… St Pope John Paul II reminded us of Jesus’ words to St Peter in relation to the New Evangelization.

Most importantly, Rejoice students live with a profound sense of the need for prayer and a lifelong commitment to deepen their relationship with Christ who sustains them in the mission.
