Rooted in the Xaverian mission and shaped by the Gospel, chaplaincy is about the whole person – not just what you achieve here, but who you are becoming.
At Xaverian, Chaplaincy is not a programme that runs alongside college life. It is a presence within it.
Chaplaincy walks alongside students and staff through the everyday and the unexpected – moments of joy, challenge, change, loss and uncertainty. There is always space to pause, ask questions, be heard, and find your way back to what matters most.
Drop us an email - we would love to hear from you.
The College Chapel is a space for prayer, worship and stillness – open throughout the day to anyone who needs it. Whether you come for Mass, a moment of quiet, or simply somewhere to sit, you are welcome.
The Chapel is dedicated to Saint Anne, mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Xaverian Brothers took over the College on 26 July 1862 – the Feast of Saint Anne – and have had a special devotion to her ever since. During the College’s 150th anniversary year in 2012, the Chapel was formally rededicated to Saint Anne.
The Chapel holds many of the traditional features of a Catholic place of worship: the altar, tabernacle, sanctuary lamp, crucifix, Stations of the Cross, statues of Mary, Saint Anne and Saint Francis Xavier, and stained glass depicting the Annunciation. Each one carries meaning for Catholic prayer and worship, and together they create a space of genuine stillness for the whole College community.
