Welcome to the Manchester Universities Catholic Chaplaincy (MUSCC)

We are situated in Avila House (opposite the UoM Student Union) and next to The Holy Name Church on Oxford Road. Open during the week from 10.00am until 8.00pm, pop in for free toast in the morning, and tea/coffee/biscuits all day long. You are welcome to use our library (one of the best kept secrets in Manchester), with free WiFi! Or you can just relax in front of the telly, or play pool and table football. We have a beautiful and peaceful chapel, plus, next door, the largest church in Manchester! Masses are twice a day in term time. 

We have loads of groups and activities to get involved in, a vibrant international community, and friends you will keep!

REGULAR ACTIVIES

8:30AM Morning Prayer

Join us on weekday mornings at 8.30am for Morning Prayer in our Chapel. We pray the Divine Office for around 15-20 minutes with our Jesuit Community, so even if you have a 9:00am lecture you can still come and make it to class on time! If you don't have morning classes we'd love you to join us for a chat over breakfast - free tea and porridge to start you day!
We hope you can make it along.

If you would like to know more please get in touch with Steph or Lisa.

FREE Toasties!

We know what it's like to live on a student budget, that's why our kitchen is open throughout the day and the fridge is always stocked! You are welcome to stop by and make yourself a FREE toasted sandwich with your choice of filling whenever you like.  And that's not all, there's also FREE tea & coffee, biscuits and WiFi whenever you want them. So come along to meet new people and be part of a great student community. We hope to see you soon!
