CathSoc is back with an updated survival guide! 💙

Moving to a new city and starting a new degree can be scary, so we’ve made a little survival sheet to help you out.

Melbourne has a rich Catholic history, use our guide to help you explore its resources and meet likeminded people.

New to unimelb and curious about our club? Have any questions about the faith or uni life in general? Already a CathSoc member and want to say hi to some familiar faces?
Come find us at Winterfest! Our stall will be at Market Hall Student Precinct, from 11am-3pm. Feel free to stop by for a chat 😊
See you there! 🙏😎

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, death is what punctuates the perpetual miracle of life in all of its beauty. The end of the flesh is not the end of the spirit, and through art, we are able to leave a bit of our spirit behind for others.

The Sedlec Ossuary is located underneath the cemetary of the All-Saints Church in Czechia. The ossuary is decorated with the bones of 70,000, arranged into various decorations and structures. It was formally created in 1870 by a Czech artist, however the bones themselves date back to the Black Death and the Hussite wars of the 14th century. The location is now one of the largest tourist sites in Czechia. Whilst the artistic value is in the eye of the beholder, it is certainly a unique feature of the Church.
