The UoN Catholic Chaplaincy had organized a whole program of varied activities for the year 2020. But as it is for all sectors of society, the activities were as well interrupted owing to the covid-19 pandemic. That notwithstanding, the Catholic Chaplaincy has tried the very best to keep in touch with as many students as possible through various social media platforms as follows

Activities.

The Catholic chaplaincy Streams live Holy Masses daily at 7.00 am and Sunday Mass at 10.00am. Having shared the link with the students, very many of them follow this for continued spiritual nourishment which is the epitome of the Chaplaincy. This is done from St. Paul’s Chapel.

Besides Mass, the Catholic chaplaincy holds zoom meetings where we discuss various issues that affect our young people. The meetings are organized for various devotional groups. Technically there is a meeting daily in the evening starting at 7.00 pm to 8.00 pm. Most of these the students hold by themselves and if there would be questions needing the address of the chaplain, we organize a joint one.

For the sake of the needy students, the Catholic Chaplaincy has since the start of the pandemic managed to buy two Laptops and one smartphone and given them to three needy students. The Chaplain fundraised from personal friends as well as his own contribution to achieve this.

Once in a while few students have managed to visit the Catholic chaplaincy offices with various issues and we have assisted them accordingly and within what we could afford.

Most of these activities are continuous and definitely it is hope that the pandemic may come to an end sometime soon for normal fellowship with fellow staff and students. The Catholic chaplaincy believes the contact with very many students and indeed staff through Whattsap groups has had tremendous impact, particularly in sharing messages of hope and encouraging each other to keep safe.

The Catholic Chaplaincy remains committed to the values that God has called us to live and will always remain standing by the promises of God that he will deliver us from Covid 19.
