Ariëns KSE brings Catholic student life to the campus since 1948. At the same time our team helps students to connect with the local Catholic churches. Ariëns KSE - being a foundation (stichting) - does not require membership for participation. Our activities are primarily aimed to cater students, but they are open to anyone of good will. Together we learn. Together we pray. Together we meet and grow in faith.
Time: 20.30h. Location: SamSam, Oude Markt 15, Enschede.
