Over the next few weeks of summer, we want to spotlight some of the specific things you can look forward to participating in at CCM this fall. And where better to begin than with
Sunday Mass
!
The Second Vatican Council calls the Eucharist "the source and summit of our Christian life" and we fully embrace this in our campus ministry. Sunday is our most important gathering time together.
We have Mass in our chapel every Sunday afternoon during the semester, beginning August 18 at 4:00pm
. If you come early, we prepare for Mass by praying a Rosary together at 3:30, and Father is available for Confession during this time. Our chapel and student center are located within a 5 minute walk from the center of campus, and the first couple weeks of the semester we will have students meeting by the clock tower before Mass to walk together as a group for those who might not know where we are.
We utilize student readers and singers for our choir, so if you are interested in helping with our liturgies please let us know! Our chapel features a variety of sacred art in both the Western and Eastern traditions to aid us in our prayer. The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in our tabernacle throughout the week.
After Mass each Sunday we gather upstairs for refreshment and fellowship, followed by a discussion called
Credo
. This is an engaging Q&A discussion focusing on a different aspect of Catholic teaching and practice each week. Credo generally runs from about 5:15 to 6:30pm. Often students will head to the dining hall after for dinner together, to continue their Sunday fellowship.
