Holy Mass is celebrated every Wednesday at 1:10pm in the Guy's Chapel during term time. Confessions can be heard 30 minutes beforehand. A simple sandwich lunch is served after Mass. Come and encounter the love of Jesus who is present to us in His word and, most especially, in the Eucharist which is the gift of Himself to us!

CHRISTUS MEDICUS GROUP*

The Christus Medicus (Christ the Physician) group is for Catholic university students of the healthcare professions and biosciences.

The main aims of the group are: 1) To enable members to support one another in faith, especially through prayer and fellowship 2) To help members to grow in love with Jesus Christ and in knowledge of the teachings of His Church and the lives of the saints 3) To encourage members to become professionals who imitate Christ as the Divine Physician, and who actively assist Him in His ongoing mission of healing and giving life and hope to the world of today.

In the first semester (September-December 2026) the group will receive a lecture series titled ‘Learning from the Lord: how to follow and imitate Jesus in healthcare.’ Ten in-person talks will be delivered by an exciting range of special guest speakers.

The first lecture titled ‘Jesus the Divine Physician: “I am the Lord, your healer” (Exodus 15:26)’ will be given by Fr Joseph Owusu-Ansah on Wednesday 30th September.

Fr Joseph is Sub Dean of St. George’s Cathedral in Southwark and Archdiocesan Higher Education Chaplaincy Co-ordinator. He is an experienced parish priest and has a passion for evangelisation and youth ministry. He holds a Master of Theological Science Degree from the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, USA. In his thesis he explored how Jesus accompanied the Twelve Apostles, with the text of the Journey to Emmaus (Luke 24) as the key.

The group will meet every Wednesday in the Guy's Chaplaincy room. The first meeting will be a social and meet & greet in the Chaplaincy room on Wednesday 23rd September 2026.

SCHOLA SACRAMENTORUM (SCHOOL OF THE SACRAMENTS)

The School of the Sacraments (Schola Sacramentorum) is for students interested in deepening their understanding and experience of the liturgy and sacraments of the Catholic Church.

The aim of the school is to help students to develop their knowledge of the meaning of the visible sacred signs and symbols, words and actions of the liturgy. This is in order to grow in their celebration and contemplation of the invisible saving mystery of Christ made present and beautifully signified in the liturgy of the Church.

This semester, the group will focus on the the two sacraments of healing: Reconciliation/Confession and the Anointing of the Sick.

The school will gather every Tuesday evening from 6 to 7:30pm in the Chaplaincy room of the Guy’s campus. The first meeting will take place on Tuesday 13th October 2026.

For more information, and to sign-up, please email Laurence, Catholic Chaplain of the Guy’s campus. Please note that this school is only open to King’s College London students and staff.

LECTIO DIVINA GROUP

Are you interested in praying with the Bible? Would you like to grow, alongside other students, in loving union with Christ Jesus the Lord? Then why not join our Lectio Divina group!

Lectio Divina is Latin for “divine reading.” It is a term given to an ancient technique from Catholic tradition, of reading and meditating on Sacred Scripture which consists of four key steps: lectio (reading) meditatio (meditation) oratio (prayer) and contemplatio (contemplation) Some also add actio (action) as a fifth step to this sequence.  

We will meet every Wednesday this semester between 3 and 4pm in the Chaplaincy room of the Guy’s campus to practice this prayer method and grow in faith together.

‘I would like in particular to recall and recommend the ancient tradition of Lectio divina: the diligent reading of Sacred Scripture accompanied by prayer brings about that intimate dialogue in which the person reading hears God who is speaking, and in praying, responds to him with trusting openness of heart. If it is effectively promoted, this practice will bring to the Church - I am convinced of it - a new spiritual springtime.’ (Pope Benedict XVI)

ROSARY GROUP

Are you interested in joining a “school of prayer”? Are you seeking to grow in loving union with Jesus? If so, the Rosary group is for you! Each week we will pray the Rosary together, meditating on the mysteries of Christ’s life aided by the prayers and example of His Blessed Mother Mary. The group meets every Wednesday at 12:15pmin the Guy's Chapel by the Mary icon. Do not worry if you have never prayed the Rosary before or have forgotten how to do so-the purpose of a school is to help you to learn.
