The Catholic Community gathers for Sunday Mass at 7:00 PM. Even
though we do not have a church building on campus, we are the Church that

upcoming week. Join us to pray and share our faith.

Hospitality:
Help is needed with setting up for Mass, we need to move
the chairs and tables to change the atmosphere. Also, help with the pizza and
refreshments after Mass would be a way to support the community.
