Chaplaincy activities
and groups
We grow in faith and build our Catholic Community
by praying, by having fun together and by serving others.
Here are some of them.
Catholic Societies
Students lead the Catholic Societies of the University of Manchester and of the Manchester Metropolitan University.
Each Sunday after the 7pm Mass, they organise a social in the Chaplaincy Portakabin, next to the Church.
Follow them on Instagram to learn more and DM them if you’d like to join a CathSoc.
