The Chaplaincy day out on Wednesday took us to Scarborough and Robin Hood’s Bay. We visited the Roman Catholic community at Madonna House and St Athanasius’ Coptic Orthodox Monastery. Many thanks to both religious communities for their hospitality and their insight into their lives and traditions — it was fascinating.

We also enjoyed fish and chips (as did the seagulls, unfortunately!) and ice cream, and some free time on the beach.

Yesterday on Ascension Day 76 students from both universities ascended the Minster tower as part of our joint service with York St John University. To hear of and reflect on Christ's Ascension and pray with each other looking over our city on a clear and windy morning was wonderful. Thank you very much to York St John for the free breakfast too.

Another lovely Morning Prayer and meet-up today (and some pictures of last Monday’s glorious sunshine - not always included!).

Every Monday during term time, 9:30am, at the Quiet Place (near Heslington Hall/Derwent College), or join the Chaplaincy team for free coffee, pastries and chat afterwards in D-Bar at 10am. We hope to see you there!
