The Multi Faith Chaplaincy Team serves all members of the University, staff and students, regardless of their faith background.
They aim to provide opportunities for worship and for faith to be nurtured and deepened and to engage with those who have questions about the meaning of life.
The Chaplains are always ready to discuss issues of faith or daily living or any personal matter in confidence at all times.
Places of worship on campus
The Mary Harris Memorial Chapel of the Holy Trinity within the University of Exeter which was designed and presented to the University by Dr E. Vincent Harris, OBE, in memory of his mother, was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of Exeter on 26 June 1958. It was declared a Grade II Listed Building at Easter 1988. Staff, students and visitors are welcome to Holy Communion on Sundays at 11am and Choral Evensong on Wednesdays at 5pm.
St Luke's Chapel was opened on 23 September 1863, destroyed by enemy action on 4 May 1942 and rededicated in 1952.
The University Chapels are available for Baptisms, Weddings, Memorial Services and other important occasions to any associated with or who have had links to the University. Enquiries to the Lazenby Chaplain are welcome.
The Catholic Chaplaincy of St Boniface in Glenthorne Road contains the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, meeting rooms, kitchen and social areas as well as student accommodation.
The Chaplaincy Room in the basement of the Roborough Building, next to the Mary Harris Chapel, is an informal meeting room for use by all the chaplains and faith societies. Church newspapers, periodicals and a lending library are available in the Chaplaincy Room. Contact the Lazenby Chaplain for access and bookings.
Full details of services and other activities are announced each term and displayed in the chapels and Chaplaincy Room, together with other notices.
