As indicated on the web page of the Martin Luther King Multi-Faith Chaplaincy (MLK), the chaplaincy “is concerned with issues that are religious, international, social and political. ‘They’ seek to help people explore life's great themes of Justice, peace, mutual understanding and the search for the meaning of life. ‘They’ are a support service for staff and students and seek to serve people of all Faiths and none.” These supports I personally experience so far during my time here at Aston.

As a Catholic, I am part of CathSoc, which include interesting people from different countries. As the church is a universal one and does everything in the same way, one does not feel left out during celebration of Mass. During the Term 1, we were privileged to have Rev. Fr. John, former chaplain of CathSoc, with us. With his great sense of humour, one cannot wait but to continue listening to him. We had a multicultural mass on that day where different languages were used for different parts of the service. Songs were from Akan, Hausa, Hindi, and prayers were in Ewe, French, Swahili, as well as in English. This reminds me of same multicultural Masses in Ghana.
After Mass, we had a party for Father and there were chicken curry as well as the vegetarian one all prepared by Rev. Fr. Raymond, our current chaplain. Not only do we have Masses on campus but also attend services at the St. Chad’s Cathedral in the City Centre.

One's spiritual, social and personal needs a catered for by our chaplains, and CathSoc really helps me in this regard.
