Hey, we’re the Catholic Society at UWE. Whether you are a cradle Catholic, convert, lapsed, curious or skeptical, you are welcome to come and see what goes on.
During term time, we meet up weekly for formation talks, short prayer sessions or to celebrate the Holy Mass. For our Frenchay Campus activities, we have Mass every Tuesday at 5:00 PM in 5X102. We are also based at the Bristol University Catholic Chaplaincy (est. 1964) in Clifton, along with the University of Bristol CathSoc. The Chaplaincy is a place for you to explore your faith, to meet people with similar interests from a great range of backgrounds, and to get involved in activities and social outreach.
As well as celebration of the Holy Mass with our Chaplain, the society organises discussions, debates, talks, (lots of) tea, community, theology, prayer, parties, pastoral support, pub trips, walks, weekends away, trips abroad, film nights, retreats, Christmas carols, charity work, worship, music, contemplation, good food and more!
It all happens at our chaplaincy in 103 Queens Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 1LL

If you are full of questions and doubts, this is a chance to share them and search for some honest answers about life and faith. If you already have a strong faith, this is a chance to deepen it. Everyone is welcome!
The chaplaincy becomes a second home for many people, and we'd really like for you to be a part of it!
