A little live stream of some of our fortnightly prayer evening, Encounter. Our next one will be held on Monday 28th October at 6pm. Come along for Adoration, praise and worship, and a reflection by one of the committee! @stmaryssu@YourStMarys@SimmsChaplaincy#catholicsoncampus

Keep in touch and know you're always welcome back ❤
Thanks to everyone who joined us today for Virtual Graduation 🎓, congratulations on everything you have achieved 🎉. We can’t wait to welcome you to graduation ceremonies in-person when it is safe to do so.
After a particularly difficult Confession of mine, a priest said, "Never be ashamed of what you bring to Confession. When I see someone in the confessional, I see a saint in the making."
I don't know who needs to hear that, but there it is.
Happy Laetare Sunday folks! Public Masses might be cancelled, but the Mass isn't!
Today is a day for joy and hope, virtues which seem more needed now than ever.

Here's my latest message today to priests & parishes of @RCWestminster about #coronavirus https://t.co/xOot7diFxc
Let us pray for each other, for those who are sick, for those who are caring for them, & for those searching hard to develop a treatment & vaccine for this illnness.
A quick and easy prayer suggestion for this new year:
Try praying the prayer of St Richard daily...
Dear Lord, of thee three things I pray:
To see thee more cleary;
To love thee more dearly;
and follow thee more nearly;
Day by day.

@NoviceCecilia I realise there are lots of prayer intentions here! But if you could pray for the success of our little Catholic society at St Mary's University (in London), we'd much appreciate it 😊
Please remember in your prayers the modern day martyrdom facing our Christian brethren.
Tertullian's phrase comes to mind - "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church"
#PrayForNigeria#SlaughterOfTheInnocents
Nigeria continues to weep as terrorist atrocities continue. Boko Haram beheaded Christians on Christmas Day. 2019 has witnessed thousands of laity and around 120 priests murdered. Thank God for the courageous faith of Nigerian Christians. #PrayForNigeria#PrayForThePersecuted
Today we remember the Holy Innocents, those children slain by Herod in his hunt for the Christ child. Let us pray, therefore, for all Holy Innocents today, whose lives end prematurely. We ask that the Lord may enlighten these troubled situations, and restore enduring hope and joy
This Christmas we ask that you pray for our University family at St Mary's, as we pray for all of your loved ones, that we might all have a blessed Christmastime!
