Throughout the entirety of the Bible, there is a great calling to be in community with others, for “two is better than one… if the one falls, then the other one will help the fallen one” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). We were never intended to walk the path alone, but rather in the company of others so that we might share the burden of the cross.
In order to foster this fellowship, Aquinas College’s Campus Ministry devotes countless hours planning and executing several weekly events where you can meet others with similar beliefs and spend time with Jesus Christ.
Beginning on Sundays at 7 p.m., Mass is held in Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel. This is an amazing opportunity for communal worship, spiritual nourishment, and deepening your relationship with our Lord. Following Mass on Sundays, a weekly social will take place. This will range anywhere from ice cream, game nights or ultimate frisbee.
Continuing on Tuesdays at 8 p.m., Praise and Worship with Adoration can be found in Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel. This is a wonderful event that combines both the profound, spiritual experience of Adoration with the encouragement and spiritual uplifting of Praise and Worship.
On Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m., the Men’s Group will be meeting in the chapel lounge of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel. This group fosters a deep relationship of brotherhood among men that encourages personal responsibility and commitment to moral living and spiritual practices.
Following the Men’s Group on Wednesdays, the Saints for Life club will be meeting at 9 p.m. in the Art and Music Center. Each meeting covers a different set of apologetics that advocate for the protection of human life and supports initiatives to protect the human dignity of every person.
On Thursday evenings from 5 p.m. – 10 p.m., there will be silent Adoration in Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel. Placing yourself in front of the Most Holy Sacrament is vital to fostering a deeper relationship with our Lord and receiving inner peace.
Additionally on Thursdays at 7 p.m., the Women’s Catholic Fellowship Group will be meeting in the chapel lounge of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel. This group is an amazing place to develop supportive friendships, deepen faith through prayer, reflection, and scripture, and grow closer to the Lord.
Lastly, Aquinas offers many daily events including Confession, Mass and praying the Rosary. Rosaries are prayed every day in Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel; Sundays at 4 p.m., Mondays at 2 p.m., Tuesdays at 6 p.m., Wednesdays at 8 p.m., Thursdays at 9 p.m., Fridays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays at 8 p.m.. Daily Mass is at 12:15 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Confession begins an hour before each of the daily Masses and ends fifteen minutes before the Mass start time. All are welcome to these events.
