Earthquake in Turkey and Syria: Université Catholique de Lille expresses its solidarity

It is with deep sorrow and anguish that we have learned about the strong earthquake that occurred on 6 February 2023, in Turkey and Syria, with thousands of deaths and injured reported so far.

In these moments of hardship, on behalf of Université Catholique de Lille, we send our condolences to the bereaved families and express our solidarity and compassion with all the people affected by this terrible tragedy. 

As members of a global community, we sympathize with those who suffer from this devastating calamity and we hope that we will find ways to show our solidarity on an international level.

    Little Miracle of Lille: Candlelight Mass

    The Université Catholique de Lille was recently featured in an article from National Catholic Register, highlighting its candlelight Mass.

    In 2016, the chaplaincy here at Université Catholique de Lille launched this initiative, that has since then enjoyed an unexpected and exponential success. The event continues to bring more and more students together.

    Every Tuesday evening at 10pm, between 800 and 900 students gather in the University Chapel for this Mass.
