An important place of social life in the Chaplaincy is the Lounge. This comfortable room, complete with widescreen TV, DVD player and drinks facilities, is open to all members of Leeds Trinity. It is a place to meet up, to do some quiet reading or to watch a movie or the big match.
A regular highlight is Tea and Coffee on the Landing, which takes place every Wednesday (10.30am-12pm) and Thursday (2.30pm-4pm).
The Chaplaincy is also running a number of Social Events and Daytrips. Dates and details are given below.
