Bishop Stepen Robson recently appointed a new Chaplain to look after Catholic students at Dundee’s two universities. Father Michael Carrie takes over from Canon Kevin Golden as Catholic Chaplain to Dundee and Abertay Universities in the city.
Fr Michael said, “I look forward to working alongside the other chaplains to the university. The spiritual and pastoral care of our young people while at university is an important task. A lot of our young people fall away from the practice of the faith at this age, but hopefully through the Catholic chaplaincy and Catholic Society we can bring them back to the faith and nourish that faith through the celebration of the sacraments and catechesis.”
As well as his role as university chaplain, Fr Michael has also been appointed a member of Bishop Robson’s Episcopal Vocations Group which will involve promoting praying for vocations and supporting those who are currently discerning a vocation to diocesan priesthood.
