Welcome to
Manchester Universities’ Catholic Chaplaincy (MUCC) &
the Catholic Chaplaincy Church of the Holy Name
MUCC & the Holy Name
The Catholic Chaplaincy Church of the Holy Name
serves the Catholics of the Universities in Manchester, and welcomes all University members
who are exploring how God walks with them in their daily life,
shown in the life, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ,
and ever since, in the community of the Catholic Church, led by the Bishop of Rome, now Pope Francis.
Because the Holy Name is not a parish, we can celebrate baptisms, marriages and funerals only
for current Catholic members of the University, and invite other Catholics to live these moments of their faith
in the surrounding Catholic Parishes, such as St Augustine’s, Grosvenor Square

PRAYER FOR THE CANONIZATION OF FR PEDRO ARRUPE SJ (1907 - 1991)
Heavenly Father, You gave us Pedro Arrupe
to preside over the Society
which St Ignatius chose to be named after your Son.
You blessed him with a boundless optimism
founded on deep faith and complete trust in your divine Providence.
For him your Son, Jesus, was everything.
Through his intercession grant us the favour we ask ...
Above all grant us the grace of surrendering ourselves fully
into your hands in sickness as well as in health, in joy
as well as in adversity, in success as well as in failure.
Make us always persons for others.
Place us with your Son, Jesus,
so that under His standard we may work
for the establishment of justice and peace in the world.
We make this prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
Prayer composed by Francis Braganza SJ former Assistant to Fr Arrupe and Bishop Emeritus of Baroda.
Imprimatur: Godfrey de Rozario SJ Bishop of Baroda
December 28 1997
Please report any personal favours received through
the intercession of the Servant of God, Pedro Arrupe SJ
to the local Jesuit Provincial of the area.
LDS: Praise be God forever.

What’s happening at the Chaplaincy & Holy Name this week
Becoming a Catholic
Each year those who seek to become Catholic by receiving Baptism or being received into the Catholic Church from another Christian community, and those who ask to complete their Christian initiation by receiving Confirmation, prepare, by prayer and catechesis (the echoing of the proclamation of the faith in their hearts) between October and May following the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). Please speak to Fr Phil or Fr Dushan to explore this path.
Please note that the programme has started and the group will not accept new members after the end of October. The next opportunity to start will be in Autumn 2025.
Finding God’s light for my life
We gather regularly in the Holy Name Church to seek God’s light through personal and community prayer. Catholics pray together regularly by celebrating the Death and Resurrection of Christ in the commemoration of his Last Supper with his disciples, which we call the Eucharist (thanksgiving) or Mass (Sending).
When the Church is open, many people enter to pray quietly or to contemplate the beauty of the space.

The Catholic Chaplains to the Universities welcome you
All the Students and Staff members of the Universities can meet and speak to the Chaplains at Masses, events
or by arranging one-to one meetings.
The Catholic Chaplains all belong to communities inspired by St Ignatius of Loyola,
three priests of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) which he founded in the 16th century,
one Faithful Companion of Jesus sister, founded by Marie Madeleine d’Houët in 19th century France,
and we are supported by one layman who will welcome you into our Chaplaincy portakabin.
