The Chaplains | When life gets to be too much or too little.
The student chaplains at MF have time and a duty of confidentiality and do not keep records. With them, you can come exactly as you are and speak the truth about life.

MF has two student priests. They are responsible for the activities in the chapel, and are available for conversations with students
Monday to Friday every week there is a morning devotion or service in the MF chapel at 10 o'clock. Every Friday it is in English.
Everyone is welcome to the student priests. You don't have to be either a Christian or in a crisis to come to a conversation.
The student chaplains have a duty of confidentiality, and have both the time and desire to talk to you. With the student chaplains, you can talk about whatever you want, whether you are looking forward to something or need someone to talk to about the more difficult aspects of life.
No matter who you are: MF's student chaplains are here for you.

- I want to contribute to MF being a good place to study. As a student, you learn new things every day. The knowledge expands the way you see the world and yourself. You learn new ways of thinking and understanding the world and for many of us the way you see God and yourself also expands. It is usually nice, but also demanding. At times, life can feel both too big and too small. Then it might be good to talk to someone. I hope to be a student priest who has time and space for important conversations. I am also looking forward to creating a good devotional life in the chapel together with students and staff. The devotional life at MF helped shape and expand my understanding of both God and my own faith when I was a student myself. I have been very happy about that in the 18 years I have been a priest. Most of all, I am looking forward to getting to know students and staff. I hear a lot of great things are happening at MF and I'm looking forward to finding my place.
