Congratulations to Adam, one of our first year undergrads and much-valued member of the Chaplaincy team. At a service held in Newry Cathedral yesterday, he was awarded a Pope John Paul II Gold Award for volunteering in his local parish during the pandemic. Well done Adam!

Chaplaincy’s core team, made up of FOCUS and our residential community SAUL, is starting to gather in Belfast in time for the new academic year. They enjoyed a pre-semester get-together at the Belfast Giants. We’re looking forward to a great year on campus!

So proud of our wonderful Chaplaincy ambassador, Inez Murray, who today represented the @CatholicBishops at the first meeting of the Shared Island Youth Forum in Dublin. We look forward to following Inez’s journey on what is set to be a very worthwhile and exciting endeavour!
