Welcome to Catholics at University
Hello and Welcome! You can use this website to look for the Catholic Chaplain and Catholic Society at your University.
Most of our Universities and Higher Education Institutions have a dedicated Catholic Chaplain based in the university or the local parish.
The Catholic Chaplaincy is a place for you to explore your faith, to meet people with similar interests from a great range of backgrounds, and to get involved in activities and social outreach.
If you already have a strong faith, this is a chance to deepen it. If you are full of questions and doubts, this is a chance to share them and search for some honest answers about life and faith. Everyone is welcome.
If you spot any errors or updates needed, please email: markjswires@yahoo.co.uk.
