St. Chad’s Sanctuary is a voluntary project supported by many friends, including

St. Chad’s Cathedral and The Salvation Army.

It’s a place of welcome and hospitality for

Asylum Seekers, Refugees and Immigrants.

We greatly appreciate donations of food, hygiene items and clothing.

We also accept financial help as well!!!

Thank you, Margaret Walsh, IJS (Infant Jesus Sister)

Have a listen to a bit of music!

"Living in Harmony" was written, composed and performed by students at our English through Song drop-in, supported by the talented Melissa and Lizzy from Birmingham Opera. The words,collected from different students over a period of several weeks, reflect what the Sanctuary means to them... and (if you ignore the slightly shaky camera work) it is truly beautiful!
