  Hello! How are you? I hope you've had a good and restful weekend. On Saturday, we enjoyed a relaxing garden party in the grounds of Campion Hall, and celebrated our wonderful Fr Matthew's birthday! Thank you to all who worked hard to organise and host such a glorious event, especially the committees of the Newman CathSoc and Companions of the Order of Malta, and the Jesuits at Campion for welcoming us so warmly into their home. Thank you also to Providence, for holding off the downpour until the very end! [...]

Morning everyone, What a glorious day! I hope you've managed to get outside this weekend, and have taken a break from work/revision to enjoy it! We were blessed with a wonderful visit from Fr Damian Howard, the Jesuit Provincial, who preached at our 11am Mass this Sunday, and met with many of you afterwards. He celebrated the Rite of Election of two of our catechumens who will be baptised during the 5:45pm Mass on Pentecost Sunday (20th May), along with four other students who will be confirmed. Make sure to save [...]

Hi everyone, Hope you've had a great start to the term. We definitely have here, it's been wonderful to see so many of you back over the past few days. We've had an abundance of talks, meals, and prayer times, a Rosary on the Oxford 'Coast', and even an Apostolic Blessing! There's more to come this week, as all of our usual events continue; I'd just like to draw your attention to a few changes and additions to the schedule: Unfortunately, the Theology of the Body group will be unable to [...]

Hi everyone, Welcome back! It was great to catch up with so many of you over lunch yesterday, and to hear your Vac stories. It was a busy one here too, with a very blessed Easter Triduum and pilgrimage to Paris and Chartres. So many adventures had, but we’re excited for life to get back to ‘normal’ again… It’s another packed term ahead. If you haven’t yet picked up a term card, do pop round and get one. We’d love to hear your feedback (positive and constructive) on the new [...]
