About UTS Catholic Chaplaincy

The Catholic chaplaincy at UTS offers personal and spiritual support in the context of the university community. There is Mass every Wednesday at 1pm at the UTS Multifaith Centre Prayer Room 1, Level 3 tower, Broadway Campus. The chaplaincy is part time, so activities are limited, but regular updates of current activities can be viewed on this website.

You can contact the chaplain for help or a chat at any time by phone or email. It is possible for the chaplain to meet with any member of the university community by appointment either at the chaplain’s office, or at another convenient location. Unfortunately we do not have the resources to keep the office open for dropping in ­ but please do not hesitate to contact us anytime.

The Catholic chaplaincy is part of the UTS Multi-faith Chaplaincy Service which hosts regular forums on topics developing a conversation around values and action in the university community.

The Catholic chaplaincy is supported by the Archdiocese of Sydney and UTS Student Services Unit which offers many forms of assistance to staff and students including counselling, health, housing and other practical assistance in academic as well as personal difficulties.

The Catholic chaplain is a member of the Tertiary Campus Ministers Association of Australia - TCMA
