Religious – Mass in the Sancta Sophia Chapel

Cardinel Pell massSancta Sophia is a Catholic college although its students come from a variety of Christian denominations and world religions. Founded by the Sisters of the Sacre Coeur, the College was established to cater for young Catholic women in a university environment. It has remained true to this goal since its inception.

Each Sunday evening an optional Mass is held in the Sancta Sophia Chapel at 5.30pm. It is open to all students, but especially to those who choose to enjoy, and be involved in the College's strong Catholic tradition. Father John Baron, a Dominican Friar, is the celebrant. College students regularly take an active role in the Masses providing readers, music, altar servers and Eucharistic Ministers.

Each year the Archbishop's Mass and Dinner is held at the College. Every second year the successful candidate of the Archbishop's Scholarship is announced. The scholarship is granted to a Sancta Sophia College student displaying outstanding academic achievement and involvement within the Catholic Church.
