"I have never felt such a strong sense of community and belonging like I do at Youth 2000 events, and I think that the retreats can have such a huge impact on you regardless of where you are in life or your faith journey. I would encourage anyone to go. You have the opportunity to make lifelong friendships, experience God’s love, and be part of something beautiful."

Youth 2000 are coming back to Leeds Trinity University on Saturday 15 February for a packed one day retreat, and you're invited. Unsure whether to go? Hear from Leeds Trinity Alumni, Becca Mills, on her experience at her first Youth 2000 retreat.

Before coming to university in 2019, I really fell out with my faith – I regularly went to Church (mostly because my mum made me), but also because I eventually began playing my guitar in Church. Then in 2014, my brother died very suddenly. It was such a difficult time and whilst I kept being invo...

"'Education for hope' for a better future for everyone (especially society's most vulnerable) was the vision of the CES [Catholic Education Network] and the Sisters of the Cross and Passion in 1966 when they opened what were then Trinity and All Saints' Colleges. That initial hope hasn't changed! Leeds Trinity's City Campus at 1 Trevelyan Square is a light of hope of a Catholic university now in the City of Leeds for the betterment of all who interact with it."

Hear from Director of Catholic Mission at Leeds Trinity University, Dr Ann Marie Mealey as she shares insights on the significance of the blessing of the new City Campus at 1 Trevelyan Square.

On 15 January, Bishop Marcus blessed the opening of Leeds Trinity University's new City Centre Campus. Dr Anne Marie Mealey the University's Director of Catholic Mission was there and has written this report of the event and its significance for the Catholic university:

"I was very sceptical. Catholicism was completely new to me, and I didn't know what to think. I mainly attended [events] out of curiosity. However, the more I explored, the more I felt drawn to it."

Fr Marc Pitson shares his journey from Leeds Trinity University to the priesthood

I graduated from Leeds Trinity in 2014 with a BA in Theology. It was during my time at University that I was introduced to the Catholic faith by some friends and the staff in the Chaplaincy. I was brought up in an evangelical Anglican family, and faith and church were very much a big part of my life...

✨ Campus Blessing ✨

We welcomed Bishop Marcus to the City Campus yesterday for Mass, and to bless the brand new campus. 🙌

It was such a wonderful day, bringing us together to celebrate this big step for our community. The Bishop’s words were a powerful reminder of our faith, Catholic mission, and hope for the future.

We were also joined by our Chancellor, John Studzinski, who also spoke beautifully of community, hope and faith, and we were honoured to have him there.
