Choral Reflection: The Fruit of the Spirit
This term our Choral Reflections (Mondays at 6 pm) consider the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5.22-23). The aim of this weekly service is to provide a more reflective space, shaping our thoughts and prayers through music, words and silence. All are welcome to any or all of these services.
Chapel Supper
Following Choral Reflection in weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7, everyone who attends the service is invited to join with us and enjoy a (free!) supper in the Memorial Room.
Compline
This meditative, candle-lit service is chanted every Wednesday of the year at 9 pm. In term time, it is followed by port and hot chocolate in the Chaplain’s room. All are welcome.

Ash Wednesday
The season of Lent begins in College with a service of Holy Communion on Ash Wednesday (Wednesday of 5th week, 14 February) at 6 pm.

We are delighted that our friends from the University Catholic Chaplaincy come to chapel each term, with one of their Chaplains saying mass. This term this service takes place on Monday of 6th week at 6 pm. All welcome.
