Chaplaincy

St. Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican, was a great thinker and theologian. He is the patron saint of colleges and universities. Like most Dominicans he encouraged debate and questioning. Everyone asks big questions at times, for example ‘What is the meaning of life?’, ‘What do I believe?’ or ‘Is God real?’. Chaplaincy offers students and staff the opportunity to explore the Christian and Catholic faith, and to discover some of the answers to these questions. Aquinas College has a wonderful reputation for enabling both students and staff to “live life to the full” (John 10v10) and chaplaincy exists to help you do just that.

The Chapel is always open for personal reflection, and there are some set times for community prayer. Chaplaincy also supports enrichment in the college including Cafod, Christian Union, Global Justice & Peace and The India Project.

I hope to get to know you soon,
Laeticia

Prayer and Eucharistic Celebration

We are blessed to be served by a team of local priests including Fr. Peter Sharrocks, Fr. Michael Gannon, Fr. Martin Onuoha, and Fr Pat. Munroe.

All staff, students and parents are invited to join us at our regular Eucharistic celebrations in our college chapel where staff and students come together to celebrate mass.

We have a daily ‘Morning Prayer & Reflection’ in the Chapel where all are welcome to spend some quiet time in the presence of the Blessed sacrament, before the start of their day, between 8.40-8.50am.

General RE classes also have a dedicated prayer time and regular visits to the Chapel to experience different ways of praying led by Laeticia Sibeh, our Lay Chaplain.
