About Us

Society to raise awareness of the Catholic Community on campus, open to all faiths and denominations as well as those who are non-religious.

      

Our society aims to raise awareness of the Catholic Community on campus, but we are open to all faiths and denominations, providing both pastoral and spiritual support for all on campus. We work closely with the ecumenical chaplaincies at both Brighton and Sussex Universities run by our Catholic chaplains: Claire O' Sullivan at Brighton (claireosullivan@brighton.ac.uk), and Fr Rod Jones at Sussex. You do not have to be religious to be a member of our society, we are here for non-judgemental pastoral support too! Find us online at http://catholicstudents.org/

 

What do we do?

  • Masses: Weekday Masses Monday, Thursday and Friday at 12:00 and on Tuesday at 17:30 (5:30 pm) in the Meeting House (Sussex Campus). There is also Mass on the Moulsecoomb campus (Watts 406) on Wednesdays at 12:00. Sunday Mass at 18:00 (6:00 pm), Meeting House (Sussex Campus)
  • Tuesday night: Social evenings ranging from Movie nights to serious sessions on Catholic moral philosophy. Starts at 18:30 (6:30 pm) in Howard House
  • Retreat days: Termly retreats to a Monastery or Convent for a day or two to relax and learn about a specific topic in detail (e.g. Lent, or different types of Prayer).
