Our Chaplaincy
At Clear Water Academy, Legionary priests serve as chaplains and assistant chaplains, providing the sacraments to students, including daily Mass. The chaplain also offers spiritual direction and the sacraments to faculty, helping them remain spiritually equipped to serve in their vocation as educators and contributors of formation. Likewise, parents are also welcome to seek counsel and spiritual accompaniment from our school chaplains.
Meet Fr. Luke Rawicki, LC
Fr. Luke was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is the third of six children. After less than a year, his father’s engineering job took their family all over the world, from Texas to Australia, to California, and eventually to Warsaw, Poland. Growing up, Fr. Luke enjoyed playing sports, especially soccer. After finishing high school, he attended Texas A&M University, where he majored in Architecture. After two years of university, he decided to join the Legionaries of Christ seminary in Cheshire, Connecticut.
His first introduction to the Legionaries of Christ came in junior high, when his parents became members of Regnum Christi. While his call to the priesthood was only heard later, the seeds were planted while attending their summer camps and retreats.
After joining in 2009, Fr. Luke studied in Connecticut and Rome, receiving his bachelor’s degree in philosophy and theology. He completed three pastoral years in the Washington, D.C., area, collaborating in youth programs and leading pilgrimages and mission trips for young men and women.
Fr. Luke was ordained a deacon on July 30, 2021, and spent a year working at the Irish Institute, a Regnum Christi K-12 school in Monterrey, Mexico. He was then ordained a priest on May 7, 2022, and spent four years as the chaplain of Cardinal Gibbons High School in Raleigh, North Carolina. Fr. Luke is excited to begin this next chapter as the chaplain of Clear Water Academy, while supporting the Regnum Christi Young Adults section in Calgary.
St. Teresa of Calcutta Chapel
St. Teresa of Calcutta Chapel is located in our Elementary building, St. Thomas More Hall. This sacred space is the heart of daily school life, where class masses are celebrated as well as masses for faculty, and families, inviting them to encounter Christ through prayer, the liturgy, and the sacraments. In this chapel, our students learn to participate reverently in the Mass, grow in gratitude for God’s blessings, and develop a love for prayer that supports their spiritual formation.
Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel
Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel, located in Athlone Hall, is a (newly renovated) dedicated sacred space for our secondary students in Grades 7 to 12. This chapel offers an intimate setting for class masses, for prayer, reflection, and spiritual accompaniment for our older students. Entrusted to the loving intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace, this chapel is a place where students are encouraged to deepen their relationship with Christ, seek guidance, and grow in faith as young Christian leaders.
