Why build a Chapel?
‘The Holy Church of Panagia Chrisomirousas’.

A school chapel makes visible the Spiritual Foundations of a school. It is a place of prayer, a place of refuge; and it reminds us constantly that there is a wider picture, a bigger perspective, another set of values, in the light of which all our doings will be seen in their true light; that human beings are more than just material entities – that we have a spiritual nature and a spiritual destiny.

Chapel takes us out of the daily struggle for a short time each week, inviting us to look out, to look up, to look beyond. Above all, it invites us to consider one of the most telling of all questions found in the New Testament: ‘What shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?’

School chapels become very special places for all students. How many times, for example, have we been invited to wedding ceremonies in school chapels?
The foundation stone was laid by His Beatitude Theodorus II on Tuesday 12th May 2009.
Special mention and thanks must go to His Eminence Metropolitan George who identified this site for the school chapel and who has secured the funding from generous benefactors overseas.
Special thanks also must go to the Harare family which has made possible a financial loan so that the work could start immediately.
