The UTS Chaplaincy is made up of a team of individuals that are employed by the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney. These individuals represent the Church on campus and work to support, form and nourish the faithful on campus while also providing outreach for those who might be questioning or interested in the Catholic faith.
The Chaplaincy team heads the UTS Catholic community and provides formation for the students. The Society forms the bulk of the community and is run by students. Community events are open for all, but primarily for Catholics on campus. Alumni also form part of the community and are also able to speak into areas that might help current students in their courses.
