Liturgy
Our community gathers regularly during the week as well as for special celebrations to worship as an academic community of faith. On
Sundays Mass is celebrated at 11:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and on weekdays at 12:00 p.m. Morning Prayer and a weekly service on Meditation are also available in addition to other interfaith efforts on the University campus. Students are especially encouraged to serve as ministers for all of our liturgies and to suggest new initiatives!
