Events in the Ecumenical Chaplaincy Centre (ECC) on University of Bath Campus

Holy Mass on Campus

Holy Mass on Campus is usually celebrated in the Ecumenical Chaplaincy Centre [ECC] below the Library, on University of Bath Campus at 12.30pm in term time and as announced in the vacation periods.
​All are welcome to join us for Holy Mass with usually some food afterwards or a least a cuppa and some cake! 

Growing in Faith

After Sunday Holy Mass and sometimes after Adoration on Thursdays, we meet informally and choose a Faith Subject to chat about. Sometimes we talk about things about our faith life that are challenging or puzzling. It is very informal and all are welcome t come and chat or simply listen. 

Rosary for Peace. (Stations of the Cross during Lent)

Picture
Meet on Fridays at 1.20pm in term time,  in the Prayer Corner in the ECC. The Rosary is easy to use - explanatory cards and rosaries are in the prayer table [Lift off the lid!]. The Rosary lasts for about 15 minutes – All are welcome. This can be lay-led prayer and can happen whether Father Bill is present or not. Even if you can’t come every week, drop in sometimes. It's a very simple witness to our faith & can be very apostolic. Its power as prayer for others, and especially for Peace, is well known.

Taizé Prayer Around the Cross 

Watch out for the next Taize Prayer in the ECC in the Ecumenical Chaplaincy Centre on University of Bath Campus. Silence, simplicity, singing, an unhurried pace, time to reflect, ancient icons, dimmed lighting and candles. Brief Bible readings, no sermon, no announcements, no distractions; in fact, as few words as possible. These are the ingredients of a Taizé Prayer.  A chance reflect and pray together.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

On Thursdays at 6.30pm in the ECC in term time with Father Bill OSM. and also at other times as announced in the newsletter. Drop in for a few moments when you can for a quiet time of prayer and praise before the Blessed Sacrament – It is very peaceful and beautiful and usually lasts for half an hour. Join us for the whole time or even for just a few minutes. This usually precedes the Cathsoc Evening meetings on Thursdays.  
Also there is all day Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament every First Friday of the month at Ss Peter & Paul Catholic Church from 9am until Benediction at 4pm. 

Lectio Divina - Mondays at 6.15pm for 6.30pm start

On Mondays at 6.15pm for a 6.30pm start in term time in the Ecumenical Chaplaincy Centre [ECC], U of Bath Campus, join students and Father Bill OSM using a traditional practice of prayer and Scriptural reading intended to engender communion with God and to increase in the knowledge of His Word.

​It is a way of praying with Scripture that calls one to study, ponder, listen and finally pray from God’s Word. It goes one step further than Bible study as it is a way of finding out what the Word Of God is really saying to Me. For guidance take a look at Sacred Space.
