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 Religion, 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
