The CSU is a vibrant and international student community. So if you are new to discovering who we are, send us a message or folow us on our social media platforms to connect with fellow students or email to arrange a chat with any of our Chaplains!

​

Complementing our online events, we also hope to host special events to mark certain occasions! Scotland loves a party, so we at the CSU mark two important Scottish celebrations namely St Andrew's Night and Burns' Night! We also celebrate various international events such as Thanksgiving and Chinese New Year and to end the academic year, we host our May Ball. 

Despite the current Covid-19 restrictions, most of our ministries are currently still active!

​

We have a variety of sub-groups ranging from the very active CSU Committee, an elected team of students who plan & organise all the yearly events, to fellowship ministries such as the Young Women's Fellowship and the Frassati Fraternity (Young Men's group). We typically also have our Postgraduate Socials, Choir Ministry and Praise & Worship Ministry, however due to the Scottish Government guidelines, these groups can't really occur the way they normally do.

Keep referring to our events page to keep posted on what we are organising throughout the semester. 

csu committee

Join the team that makes the Catholic Students' Union happen! When you join the committee, you not only get a chance to share your gifts and talents, but build life long friendships and create a welcoming community.

Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) takes place in March in Semester 2 of the academic year. This is when we elect our new CSU committee. 

​

If you are thinking about getting more involved, why not speak to a current committee member to learn more?

readers 

There are ways to help serve at Mass here at St Albert's Catholic Chaplaincy. This readers ensure that everyone is able to hear the Word of God. 

Due to Scottish Government regulation readers are not encouraged to touch the lectionary. 

​

If you feel called to share in this ministry, talk the parish priest (Fr Dermot) and he will provide further guidance.

Choir Ministry

Due to Scottish Government regulation, congregational singing will not be allowed to take place. However, this doesn't mean that the Choir ministry can't sing together online!

All enthusiastic singers are invited to join- no experience necessary! If you are a musician we need you!

worship ministry

We won't be able to have congregational singing prayers at the moment, so this ministry is going to 'meet' online informally.

We welcome singers and musicians who enjoy contemporary Christian worship music. 

young women's Fellowship (YWF)

Young Women’s Fellowship - YWF provides a safe space for women to share their faith with one another, journey further with God and deepen friendships. We meet in small groups (5x per semester) facilitated by our lay chaplain, Lilian.

We will be offering in-person small group meetups and online small group discussions this semester. 

There is a chance to join at the start of each semester. 

Frassati fraternity

The Frassatti Fraternity is our Young Men's group that meets regularly to grow in holiness through prayer, fellowship and service. 

​

Under the patronage of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, whose steadfast faith fostered a deep spiritual life which he never hesitated to share with his friends.
