Happy New Year !
Well, it is not the dawn of 2025 quite yet - but for us at the College we are just about to begin our new Formation Year. For the past fortnight the new members of our Community have made their ‘ induction period’ – getting used to their new surroundings and also, along with some of the other seminarians from different years who have come back early to help them settle in, taking a trip or two outside Rome to get used to the localities (and the language) with which they will become increasingly familiar over the next years.
Some photographs of these trips, including the Papal Audience which we were privileged to be part of , can be found under 'News' on this website and also on the college Facebook pages.
Once again, thank you for the prayerful interest and support which you give to us as the months pass by; Oremus pro invicem – let us pray for each other.
Father Philip

Academic Meeting and Mass Each year, at this time, we have a Plenary Academic Staff Meeting. For this autumn meeting we invite a senior member of St. Mary’s University, Twickenham to attend the meeting and to formally greet students who have graduated through the university. The Pro Vice-Chancellor and CFO, Richard Soloman, was our guest this year. He congratulated students at the end of Mass and gave us all a warm word of encouragement.Read More -

We were able to celebrate Mass for Remembrance Sunday with the community of San Silvestro on Sunday 10 November. Fr Rory and Fr John (Pallottine Fathers), who have a particular ministry in San Silvestro, each year invite one of the Colleges to look after the Mass. This year the Scots College led the liturgy, with Fr Mark Cassidy, their Rector, presiding. The Beda College and the Venerable English Colleges participated along with the British and Irish Ambassadors to the Holy See and the whole community of San Silvestro.Read More -
