Pope Francis has designated 29th September as a Day for Refugees and Asylum seekers, and his Day for the Poor in mid-November is also dedicated to them. During this period our Archdiocese is mounting several initiatives to support this group. As part of this we will be holding an hour long Vigil of Prayer at St Albert’s on Saturday November 2 at 6pm. This will comprise a series of readings followed by time for reflection in the chapel. Everyone is welcome, including people from out-with the parish.
The Catholic Chaplaincy serves the students and staff of the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Napier University and Queen Margaret University.
The Catholic Chaplaincy is also a parish of the Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh (the Parish of St Albert the Great) and all Catholic students and staff are automatically members of this parish.
