Pastoral Service

It is particularly important for students studying in Hungary, living far from their families and their familiar cultural environment, to be able to participate in the pastoral services provided by the Church in order to exercise their faith. 

Thanks to the agreement between Eötvös Loránd University and Pázmány Péter Catholic University (PPCU), foreign students at ELTE have access to the pastoral services of PPCU. The vast majority of services are free of charge for both Hungarian and international students of PPCU and ELTE. Students can participate in many available spiritual programmes (some of which are in English), including:

  • Individual and small group exercises
  • holy masses in English, 
  • keeping faith groups (online)
  • spirituality days, spiritual practice weekends during during major Catholic holidays,
  • preparation for sacraments (baptism, confirmation)
  • leisure and cultural programs: excursion, film clubs
  • lectures, roundtable discussions on Christianity, spirituality
