Durham University Catholics The page of Durham University Catholic Chaplaincy This is the official page for the Catholic Chaplaincy at Durham University.

For more than half a century the Catholic Chaplaincy, based at St. Cuthbert's Church, has served the community of Catholics studying, researching and teaching at Durham University. Having grown out of a Cathedral school and with its Christian heritage visible all around, Durham as a secular university remains very open to the practice of the faith. With an excellent department of Theology and Reli

gion, and the presence of the Centre for Catholic Studies, Durham provides a great opportunity to think more about your Catholic faith, whatever subject you may be studying. Whether you are a Catholic student, member of staff or alumnus of Durham, or just browsing, you will find a warm welcome at the Chaplaincy, here on our page and at our online community at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/21812191084/

Student Mass is at 6:30pm every Sunday at St Cuthbert's Catholic Church, Old Elvet, Durham DH1 3HL. Durham University Catholic Society (CathSoc) also have a page
