60th Anniversary – The Exeter University Catholic Chaplaincy was officially opened on 16th November 1966, so this coming November we will celebrate our 60th Anniversary! To mark this wonderful anniversary we have some really nice polo shirts available in three sizes (small, medium and large) for a suggested donation of £10 each. They will be displayed in the foyer. If you are interested in purchasing one do not hesitate to contact me.
Pope's Intention for October – For mental health ministry. Let us pray that the mental health ministry be established throughout the Church, helping to overcome the stigma and discrimination of persons with mental illnesses.
Volunteer opportunities – There are many ways to get involved with the Chaplaincy this year and we ask each of you to consider volunteering to use your gifts to serve the Church. If you would like to read, serve, or get involved with the music for Mass, please get in contact. If you have never taken on one of these roles but would like to, full training can be given. In addition, we would need people to help with the cooking. If you can help out, please let me know.
UNBOUND, Freedom in Christ Prayer Conference – A weekend immersion in the inspirational teaching of UNBOUND Deliverance Ministry at Buckfast Abbey on Saturday, 31st October and Sunday, 1st November. A safe, gentle and non-confrontational freedom and inner healing ministry model which helps people reclaim their true identity in Christ. Come and join us as we unpack each of the key themes: Repentance and Faith, Forgiveness, Renunciation, Authority, and the Father’s Blessing. With an opportunity for a personal prayer session. Weekend tickets from £65. To book please fill in the form at https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=KidbqQHRkEKiqby9p4ZacbcUsAvfVABAlP89QspDk_pUNDc2WFo0R0VaRTFRNVdLUlFFUkozR1BOVS4u.

Sacrament of Reconciliation – Fr. Michael is available to hear Confessions on Tuesdays at 6.30pm, and in general he is usually available before or after Mass. Otherwise, you can arrange an appointment with him by talking to him in person or emailing him at Michael.Wheaton@prcdtr.org.uk. “In the life of the body a man is sometimes sick, and unless he takes medicine, he will die. Even so in the spiritual life a man is sick on account of sin. For that reason he needs medicine so that he may be restored to health; and this grace is bestowed in the Sacrament of Penance." (St. Thomas Aquinas).
Please consider donating to the Chaplaincy – Donations to the Chaplaincy can be made via the contactless card machine situated on the right-hand side of the Chapel entrance each Sunday. The Catholic Chaplaincy plays an essential role in fostering the faith and spiritual growth of students, offering a welcoming community and opportunities for worship and formation. We would be grateful for your support. To contribute online, please follow this link: https://givealittle.co/c/6OFkjhzCGMB0RMNcqxB1B7. Your support, no matter the amount, makes a significant difference. "Give back some of God's gifts to God, that you may safely enjoy the rest." (St. John Henry Cardinal Newman).
