Forming mature men for priesthood
Welcome Message from the Rector
This College was founded in 1852 to form older men, often convert clergymen, for Catholic priesthood. They came only for four years, because they were seen to have significant knowledge and experience already.
Today the character of the community has changed. Although the Beda remains the responsibility of the Bishops of England and Wales, it has opened its doors to receive men from English-speaking countries worldwide.
However, the essential mission remains the same: to help older men harness and develop their experience and knowledge in the service of the Gospel as Catholic priests.
Welcome to this website. I hope you will enjoy discovering the work which we are privileged to have been given.Canon Philip GillespieRector
Note: The July article for the Liverpool Catholic Pictorial, written by the Rector, can be found on the Beda Life, Prayer and Liturgy page.

Beda Latest News-
June 15Students and staff start to move away from today to return home for holidays, time with families, and pastoral placements. Over the summer months there will be little news on the website but anyone wanting to know about the life of the college might want to visit the website pages. For example, the complete issues of the last four Beda Reviews are available on the Beda Life/ Beda Review page; there are over 2000 photos on our Flickr page (click the yellow circle with the two black dots on the top right of the Home page), and those wanting to know what is coming up might visit the Calendar which is current up to the beginning of 2018.
