Welcome to the web site of the Catholic Chaplaincy, which serves both the University of Bradford and Bradford College.

The Chaplaincy, which is provided by the Catholic Diocese of Leeds in West Yorkshire, is here to provide for the spiritual needs of Catholic students on the campus. We also stand at the service of all members of the University and College who find a need for the pastoral support and faith formation that we offer here.

The resident chaplain is Father Stephen Brown.

At the Chaplaincy, we are glad to affirm joyfully our faith in Jesus Christ, True God and True Man whose coming among us was the centre-point and fulfilment of all human history. We believe that Christ provides the answers to the longings of the human heart for love, and the searchings of the human mind for truth. We also acknowledge that the fullness of the Faith revealed by Christ subsists in the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church which He founded to continue His work through time, and which speaks with His own infallible authority.

 The Chaplaincy, which is under the patronage of the 16th century martyr St. Philip Howard, has its own chapel which is used for the daily celebration of Holy Mass in term time, and for quiet prayer and devotions before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

If you are new to the University/College this year, we look forward to meeting you. Call in at the Chaplaincy on Great Horton Road, and visit our Cathsoc stall at the Freshers' Fair on 22nd September.  The term time Mass schedule begins on Sunday 26th September, with Masses at 11.00am & 5.30pm.
