Parish Details
CUHAS as a Catholic University promotes
Catholic values in principal and espouses to instill moral and ethical values
to the students training here. However, the university also respects the
religious freedom of individuals within the CUHAS community, which is why there
is a thoughtful support for religious associations on Campus.
Worship Space: The BMC premises has a Chapel ‘St. Martin De
Porres’ in which regular masses are held. Due to limited space within Campus,
students have been allowed to utilize a few designated informal space to
congregate for worship. However, there are several denomination churches and
mosques within the Bugando vicinity, where students are encouraged to attend on
designated days.

Chaplaincy which oversees the spiritual services for students, staff, patients
and visitors. This office is open to people from all religious backgrounds. The
office is located outside the Chapel.

holistic wellbeing of each individual, hence ensuring that there is access to
counselling services on campus. Counselling services are available through the
Chaplaincy. Those in need of counselling on any matter including study, home,

professional manner and in a friendly environment. Close follow-up is made, for
