Chaplaincy

Introduction by Chaplain Martin Malone

The college employs a full time lay chaplain, Martin Malone. Through his role he provides various opportunities for staff and students to explore and deepen spiritual faith through voluntary prayer services, Masses, times of reflection and retreats.

Working alongside the college pastoral team, our chaplain helps support individuals coping with the stresses of daily life and those faced with particular challenges such as bereavement, ill health and loss.

As part of the College Chaplaincy you might like to light a candle to mark an occasion or the bring someone to mind in particular, pray for your own intention. The Chapel is open to students throughout the day and you can do this at any time. You can also write a prayer on a paper leaf and add it to the prayer tree situated in one corner of the Chapel.

I had a great experience at SJR. I met a lovely bunch of people and made so many friends. I wouldn’t have achieved the grades I did without the tutor advice and support. Thank you.
