Welcome to the Catholic Chaplaincy to the University of York
Catholic Chaplaincy is based at More House, a large, homely and welcoming Georgian house located in Heslington between Campus and Halifax College (next to Eden Close).
Whether you are a new student planning to come to York or an existing student or member of staff we hope that you will find us a welcoming presence either here in More House or wherever you encounter us on campus.
The Catholic Chaplaincy is provided for the University of York by the Diocese of Middlesbrough and, since 1995, has been served by the British Province of Carmelite Friars.
More House has an open door policy - no need to ring the bell - all are welcome to come in and make yourself at home. More details about our facilities are here. You can sign up for our weekly newsletter here or simply click through the links above for more information about us. Find us on Facebook here.
Chaplaincy is a support for students and all members of the university community throughout their University journey. Whether it is around campus, at events throughout the year or within More House, Chaplaincy offers a friendly, non-judgemental ear to anyone who wants it. Chaplaincy is here for those of all faiths and none.
Conversation
The Chaplain’s door is always open for anyone who needs to talk. Conversation can be a tool to help discover and overcome difficult times. Whatever the topic, the I will always be there for those conversations. Depending on your needs, the I can help you source and reach out to additional supports within the University structures if they are needed.
Community
Part of life in university is sharing in the faith community that is our fellow students and staff. We offer an experience of community that can help you make new relationships and a sense of belonging. It is this community that can be a real source of strength and nourishment as you journey through life on campus.
Compassion
“As I have loved you, so you must love one another”. These words of faith inspire us to care and respect one another. Sharing in concern for others in need within society, the environment, themes under social justice including human rights is part of the role of Chaplaincy. Chaplaincy is here to nourish and facilitate this compassion and we encourage you to not only feel concern but take action where possible on campus within various societies and acts of charity.
Contemplation
Life at university brings many questions around life. For many of us it’s the first time away from home and our ideas on life, faith and meaning can be awakened properly for the first time. Chaplaincy offers you a safe space to explore these ideas and ask those questions whatever they are. We do not have the answers but can journey with you while you come to your own conclusions.
