Welcome to College. My name is Darren McCallig, and I am the Church of Ireland Chaplain (Anglican/Episcopal) here in TCD. You can find details of service times and other information on our Term Card which can be downloaded here.

During term there is daily Morning Prayer at 9.15am, as well as Choral Evensong on Thursdays (5.15pm) and the Sung Eucharist on Sunday mornings (10.45am).You can listen to some recent Sunday sermons by following the link to the MP3 files below.

"Future Tense?" is the theme of this year's Lenten Series. Over the course of the six Sundays in Lent we will hear six different perspectives on the challenges facing the church of the future. Speakers include: Dr. Martin Mansergh, TD (Minister of State at the Department of Finance); Nóirín Ní Riain (Irish Spiritual Singer, Theologian & Musicologist) and Peter Owen Jones (Anglican Priest,TV Presenter & Author). Full details here.

As part of Seachtain na Gaeilge, the service of Choral Evensong will be sung in Irish on Thursday 11 March at 5.15pm. Details here.

Everyone is welcome at all our services. We are committed to a faith that is generous and resists the instinct to exclude on the basis of disagreement and difference. I believe we can be Christians without laying aside any of our convictions about the equality and dignity of all people, whether men or women, gay or straight, young or old.

We are also committed to the Anglican approach of scripture, tradition and reason. The sacrifice required by Christian faith is not the sacrifice of our intellect. You won’t be expected to park your brain at the door of this church! Our faith may be 2,000 years old, but our thinking certainly isn’t. If you are interested in finding out more then please consider joining our Book Group.

But the Chaplaincy is much more than just the Chapel! We are here to provide pastoral care and support for all members of the university community. From whatever background you come, from any faith, or from none, please be assured of a good cup of coffee, a warm welcome and a listening ear. I am also available to help prepare members of College for Baptism or Confirmation and to help make the necessary arrangements for those considering Marriage.
