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

Each Sunday after the 7pm Mass, they organise a social in the Chaplaincy Portakabin, next to the Church.

Helping us to pray at Mass

We need people to help in many ways so that we can pray well in our beautiful Church. It is also a great way of geetting to know people in our community. You could help by:

  • Cleaning the Church

  • Flower arranging

  • Welcoming people as they arrive

  • Singing or playing music in our choirs
            at the 11am or 7pm Sunday Mass

  • Altar Serving  

  • Reading Scripture

  • Taking up the collection

  • Taking up the Offertory gifts

  • Lay ministers of Holy Communion  

Please speak to or email Fr Dushan

Christian Life Communities (CLC-CVX)

Christian Life Community (CLC) is for people who want to understand more deeply how God is at work in their everyday lives, using three pillars of Spirituality: living prayer, Community: a spiritual family, and Mission: loving service.

We hope to start a new CLC group early in the Autumn term 2024.

Living Stones  

The beauty of our Church can help visitors know the One on whom these stones are built and whom this beauty praises. Contemplating the images in our Church using the way of praying of St Ignatius helps us to be aware of God’s presence among us, and how he invites us to draw others into his fullness of life.    

Nightfever

7pm -10pm, first Friday of each month in term

Students invite passersby to enter our Church, to pause in silence, to light a candle bedfore the Altar, to write their needs and intentions and perhaps, to offer them to God, as we pray and Adore Christ in the Eucharist exposed on the Altar, while those who wish, celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation or speak to a priest.      

And many more activities that we can begin!
