Welcome!

The Catholic Chaplaincy to the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University is based at St Philip Neri Church, Catharine Street, in the city centre. It is centrally located between the two universities and has been designated by the Archdiocese of Liverpool as the University Church and Catholic Chaplaincy Centre.

If the church is not open, the chaplaincy centre can be accessed through the double wooden gates in Blackburne Place at the side of St Philip Neri Church.

There is space to work quietly or sit and relax with friends.  The centre is open from 12 noon to 2pm Tuesday to Thursday during term-time.   Sandwiches and snacks are available after weekday Mass.  In the evening it opens 30 minutes before meetings and services.  We aim to provide a home-from-home for our students and staff offering Christ's hospitality in Catholic worship, friendship and group activities.

Next to the church is Philip Neri House which has accommodation for five Catholic students.  Also resident is the chaplain, Father Ian McParland.
