Welcome to Lancaster and the Chaplaincy.  

We have two Catholic Chaplains, Fr. Paul Embery, and Rev Jim Wood a deacon.  We would love you to get in touch and come and meet us.  The Chaplaincy (near Bowland College) houses the Catholic Chapel and the Catholic flat (upstairs) where Fr. Paul lives.  So lease drop in or give us a call or email/ facebook etc. (See below)

We hope that you will use the Chaplaincy to settle in and to meet other people, and then use it as is helpful to you.

We have Mass at 11.30 on Sundays and daily Mass or Eucharistic Services at 1.05pm.

The Chaplaincy was built in 1969 as an ecumenical venture and we try to maintain that spirit working very closely with the Anglican and Free Churches whose chapel is next to ours.  We do many things together, both worship, discussion and fun, and we hope that you will find that interesting and a good way of growing in your own faith; for example we a term we go to the Lakes for a retreat/fun weekend, called ‘Time Away’ and would love you to join us on that.

Cath Soc meet every Wednesday at 7.30pm and you can see their facebook page at Lancaster CathSoc so come and try that out.  There are other meetings too for general chat and /or prayer that you will discover when you arrive.  There are Catholic Prayer Groups and discussion groups and there is also an ecumenical Christian Fellowship meeting as well which some have joined instead or as well.  You will find that people move between them quite happily.

We are moving at the moment to develop the Interfaith nature of the Chaplaincy too so that contact with other faiths is easy as well.

Above all we hope that the Chaplaincy is a place where you feel welcome and can also grow in your faith (as John Henry Cardinal Newman would expect of time at university).
