Growing in the Catholic faith together we arrange socials, share in prayer and host speaker events to help us learn more about the Catholic faith together.

The Catholic Chaplaincy is based next door to St Mary’s Church, Bridge Street - above the parish centre. Our Chaplaincy space is called the ‘Upper Room’ and is open Monday - Friday all year round. 

We host a range of prayer groups and activities including a weekly student prayer meeting and film and TV evening. Our lounge has comfy sofas, is always warm and has free wifi so you can study. We also offer free tea and coffee in our kitchen.
