Michaelmas Term 2020
We are planning to have an evensong service this Sunday 11 October at 5.30pm to mark the start of the academic year. This is a closed service for Balliol College members only. There are very limited spaces available in the Chapel and if you are a Balliol member and would like to attend, please email sarah.twinn@balliol.ox.ac.uk by Friday 9 October to register in advance.
Further services will be announced when we are able to.
The University Church is publishing a weekly podcast each Sunday on the University Church website. There is also daily Morning Prayer, Monday to Friday, held via Zoom at 9.00am. Please contact ana-maria.niculcea@universitychurch.ox.ac.uk for further information and joining details.
The Oxford University Catholic Chaplaincy is livestreaming Masses from the Chaplaincy on Sundays at 11.00am and 8.00pm and Monday-Saturday at 6.00pm.
Please also see our page about other faith groups and places to worship in Oxford.
The Chaplain is happy to assist any member of College. He is also happy to talk to any current or Old Members about preparation for baptism and/or confirmation and weddings to be arranged in Balliol Chapel.
