THE COLLEGE

St Edmund’s College is unique among all the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge in having, by Statute, a Catholic Chapel and a Catholic priest as Dean. The College was founded in 1896 as a house of residence, primarily for Catholic priests reading for degrees in the University. It became an Approved Foundation in 1975, changed its name from St Edmund’s House to St Edmund’s College in 1986, achieved full collegiate status in 1996 and received its Royal Charter in 1998.

THE CHAPEL

The College Chapel is a Grade II listed building, designed by Father Benedict Williamson CSSP. Its foundation stone was laid in 1915 by Cardinal Bourne, the then Archbishop of Westminster, and opened in 1916 by Francis Keating, the then Bishop of Northampton. The bronze sculpture of St Edmund of Abingdon, the College’s patron, commemorating the Chapel’s centenary, is by Rodney Munday. The Chapel is accessible from within the College at the end of the main corridor in the Norfolk Building at all times. For liturgical events, it can be accessed also through the main door. All members of the College, as well as visitors, are welcome to attend all events taking place in the Chapel.

THE ACTING DEAN

Father Alban McCoy, the Acting Dean, is a Catholic priest and Franciscan Friar. Having been Dean from 2013 to 2018, he is continuing for the time being as Acting Dean. He is available to all members of the College. Please feel free to call any time at his office, which is next to the Chapel, or make contact by e-mail (am335@cam.ac.uk & dean@st-edmunds.cam.ac.uk) or telephone (3)36123 or 07887 850 978). The Acting Dean’s Assistant is the Reverend Professor Allen Brent (alb13@cam.ac.uk).

CHAPEL COLLECTIONS

Chapel collections contribute to the running costs of the Chapel. The chapel community also supports various charities, the principal ones being The Premananda Orphanage Centre in Ongole, Andhra Pradesh, which provides a home for sixty homeless children (collection 9 February) and Street Invest Africa (collection 15 March), which trains professional workers to serve as trustworthy adults in the lives of street children, securing for them a viable future.
