Teach Fáilte and Contemplative Centre

Our Teach Fáilte and Contemplative Centre in the main Student Square on campus are places of welcome for all.

They represent welcoming spaces where chaplains can offer warmth, pastoral care, and gentle support; open moments for worship; nurture spiritual reflection and connection; and inspire a spirit of social responsibility and volunteerism.

Teach Fáilte

Teach Fáilte, our popular drop-in centre, is open daily from 11am-3pm. Students are welcome to make a cuppa as boiling water and milk are provided. Students can use this space to relax, chat, and get to know other students. In times of difficulty students are assured of a listening ear and may be facilitated to avail of other supports on or off campus.

Contemplative Centre

Staff and students are encouraged to avail of the Contemplative Centre , which is an oasis of peace and tranquillity. This is a sacred space for quiet, meditation, prayer or reflection.

The contemplative centre is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 4.30pm.

Mass is held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 1.10pm during the semester. All are welcome.

Throughout the academic year, bespoke interfaith and denominational services are held for special occasions of celebration or tragedy.
