Catholic Tertiary Chaplaincy
Christchurch Catholic tertiary students looking for companionship and support in a Catholic setting, this site may be helpful.
The chaplaincy operates at the University of Canterbury, and Lincoln University.
Our mission is to touch the hearts and minds of students in Christchurch, at the most significant period in their lives, and bring them to Faith, Hope, and Love in the person of Jesus Christ.
The chaplains offer spiritual care:
- Chaplains offer an open ear to those seeking spiritual wellness.
- Chaplains listen, sympathize, offer guidance, and inspire spiritual growth.
- Chaplains are here to meet you at the point you are at on your spiritual journey.
- chaplains support anyone who is searching for faith and a relationship with Christ.
The Catholic Tertiary Chaplaincy (CTC) ministers to practicing Catholics, lapsed Catholics, and those who are interested in hearing about Catholicism.
What do the chaplains do?
We are here to walk with you on your spiritual journey whether you are beginning or have been on the journey for a while; whether you are a Catholic or interested in Catholicism.
