Chaplaincies

The Christian Unity Commission for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark has been in existence for over forty years. Our main task is to encourage Catholics within the Archdiocese to work and pray for Christian unity.

The diocesan Liturgy Commission has a responsibility to the Archbishop for the promotion of the liturgy and other acts of public worship. Its work encompasses the buildings in which we worship, the music with which we praise God and training for those involved in the liturgy in different ways.

The Southwark Marriage and Family Life (MFL) team is responsible for initiating, fostering and supporting activities in the diocese that will enable married couples more fully to live out their sacrament of matrimony by enriching their relationships.

Although it has not been possible to undertake any pilgrimages until very recently, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, it is ordinarily a regular part of Catholic life. The Christian life is a journey towards God, and in this simple act of outward physical travel, whether on foot or by aeroplane, we inwardly seek to draw closer to Christ by putting time aside to consider our relationship with the Lord, and ask where he is leading us.
