The work of the Presentation Brothers as School Chaplains is based to some extent on Constitution 52, from the Presentation Brothers constitutions, which reads:
“In the strength of our tradition we must strive:
- to proclaim afresh the power of God’s healing love;
- to defend the values of family life;
- to promote reconciliation and unity;
- to respond to the needs of the poor;
- to sanctify life, especially that of our youth.”
