Fisher House, Cambridge

The Cambridge University Catholic Chaplaincy, known as Fisher House after its patron, English martyr and Cambridge chancellor St John Fisher, is the Catholic chaplaincy for members of the University of Cambridge in England. Founded in 1896, it is now located on the site of a former inn on Guildhall Street in the centre of Cambridge. From September 2013, the chaplain is Mgr Mark Langham (a priest of the Archdiocese of Westminster and former Administrator of Westminster Cathedral); the assistant chaplains are Sr Ann Swailes, OP and Ryan Christopher Day.

The chaplaincy is open to all Catholic members of the University, from undergraduates to fellows. Approximately 500 people attend the three Sunday Masses (a said English vigil Mass, sung Latin Mass and sung English Mass), with 20–30 people attending daily. During the exam period, Lauds is also celebrated.

The finances of the chaplaincy, including building upkeep, are handled by the Cambridge University Catholic Association (CUCA), while the chaplains are appointed by the Oxford and Cambridge Catholic Education Board (OCCEB). Day-to-day running of the chaplaincy is handled by the chaplain and the student-run Fisher Society.

Regular events include the annual Fisher Mass (in recent years celebrated at Great St Mary's) and the Gilbey requiem (at Trinity College), as well as the Fisher Society dinner, barbecue, and garden party at the nearby Dominican priory. Lunches are organised daily (excepting Sundays when tea is provided), as well as many parties and events throughout the term.
