ST EDMUND’S COLLEGE
St Edmund’s College is unique among all the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge in having, by Statute, a Catholic Chapel and a Catholic priest as Dean. The College was founded in 1896 as a Catholic house of residence, primarily for priests reading for degrees in the University. It became an Approved Foundation in 1975, changed its name from St Edmund’s House to St Edmund’s College in 1986, achieved full collegiate status in 1996 and received its Royal Charter in 1998. The chapel is a Grade II listed building, designed by Father Benedict Williamson CSSP. Its foundation stone was laid in 1915 by Cardinal Bourne, the then Archbishop of Westminster, and opened in 1916 by Francis Keating, the then Bishop of Northampton. The Chapel’s centenary is being celebrated during this academical year from 13 November 2015 to 24 September 2016.
THE CHAPEL
The College Chapel is open at all times. It is accessed through the main door during the day in Full Term and at all other times from within the College at the end of the main corridor in the Norfolk Building. All members and visitors to the College are welcome to attend liturgical and other events taking place in the Chapel. The Dean, Father Alban McCoy, a Catholic priest and Franciscan Friar, is available to all members of the College. Please feel free to call at his office, which is next to the chapel, or make contact by e-mail ([email protected] & [email protected]) or telephone (3)36123 or 07887850978). The Dean’s Assistant is the Reverend Professor Allen Brent ([email protected]).
CHAPEL COLLECTIONS
Chapel collections contribute to the running costs of the Chapel. But the chapel community also supports various charities, the principal ones being The Premananda Orphanage Centre in Ongole, Andhra Pradesh, which provides a home for sixty homeless children (collection 14 February) and Street Invest Africa (collection 6 March), which trains professional workers to serve as trustworthy adults in the lives of street children, securing for them a viable future.
READERS, SERVERS & EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS
If you would like to read at Mass, please contact John Gannon ([email protected]). If you would like to serve Mass or be instituted as an Extraordinary Minister of the Holy Eucharist, please contact the Dean.
