Chapel Services
Weekly sheets for Hilary Term, with details of all our services, can be downloaded here.
WeekdaysIn full academic term
(from 11/01/21) Morning Prayer is said at 8 a.m.; we say the Noonday Office (lasting about ten minutes); and Evening Prayer is said at 5.30 p.m.. On Wednesdays, we celebrate Mass, straight after Evening Prayer, at 6 p.m. Mass on Wednesday evenings includes a short homily by one of our young people exploring their vocation in the Church; you can listen to previous recorded sermons here. On Fridays only, we say the Litany together immediately after Morning Prayer. |
Sunday Services

Worshipping Online
|
During lock-down, we have committed to live-streaming the Office of Evening Prayer, and Mass on Wednesday evenings and Sunday morning.
You can watch these services on either our YouTube Channel or on our Facebook page. If joining the live-stream for Evening Prayer, you can follow the liturgy and find the Psalter on the Church of England's website, here. |
Praying at Home
|
When praying at home, you may wish to use a shortened version of Morning or Evening Prayer, and use additional prayers for morning, evening, and night, which are available here.
Our lectionaries for Hilary Term (24th January to 31st March) are available here, which will enable you to follow our lessons at home to structure your private prayer.

During Lent
|
Dr E. B. Pusey, to whom our House stands as a memorial, described Lent as 'a season, not of going back, but of passing on, of inworking into life by His grace, what, by that grace, we have learned of humility or penitence, or prayer, or simplicity, of self-sacrificing love'.
You can download material to help you keep a holy Lent here, put together by our Principal Father George Westhaver, or more specifically on the Lenten practice of fasting here. |

The Chapel
'I do not think there is in Oxford any better specimen of Gothic design, old or new', wrote architectural historian Harry Goodhart-Rendel of the Chapel of Pusey House. With its Temple Moore design and its fittings by Ninian Comper – whose ciborium over the altar in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel is one of the finest examples of his work – it is one of Oxford’s hidden gems. Some of Comper’s original vestments remain in use, and others have been commissioned using his original designs.
Far from being an architectural showpiece, however, the Chapel remains a place of living worship, where the offices are said and the Mass offered every day. Either quietly in the stillness of an early weekday morning or with splendid music and full ceremonial on Sunday, our Chapel is a place where prayer continues to be offered to God in the beauty of holiness every day.
