Description
Welcome to CathSoc!!
CathSoc is the society based at the University of Bristol Catholic Chaplaincy (est. 1964). Through regularly meeting together for Holy Mass, food, teaching and socials, we aim to provide an environment for intellectual and spiritual growth for the community of Catholic students and staff. Whether you're new to the faith, a cradle Catholic, or perhaps non-Catholic and just a bit curious, you can be sure to find a warm welcome.
As well as celebration of the Holy Mass, the society organise 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, meditation, good food and more!
We are located at 103 Queens Road, Clifton (next to the Students’ Union).
Mass times:
- Sunday Holy Mass 6pm followed by a meal together at the Chaplaincy
- Wednesday Holy Mass 7pm followed by a talk or social event at the Chaplaincy
For many of our members, the Chaplaincy becomes like a second home and family, and we'd really like you to be a part of it!
