Welcome to St Albert's

The Dominican Order has had care of the Catholic Chaplaincy to the University of Edinburgh since 1931. The friars are also chaplains to the Edinburgh College of Art .

As a community of friars we also live a common life together so that we can preach the Gospel within the local Church and community.

We hope this website helps you to discover more about us, and possibly to come and share in our common worship.


Fr Tim Calvert OP
