Programs and Resources
Sacraments Class
Every Sunday, 3 p.m. - 4 p.m. at Goddard Chapel
Designed for both students who are preparing to receive the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation) and all who have already received but wish to go deep and re-encounter this central element of Catholic tradition. Class time will be spent in small group discussions, spiritual practice, engaging with art and music from different cultural contexts. Fall semester focuses on expanding our Sacramental Consciousness, inviting us to stay awake to the divine around us and reflecting on our already holy lives. Second semester will be devoted to exploring individual Sacraments of Initiation. All are welcome and as always, come as you are! Please contact Catholic Chaplain Lynn Cooper if you are interested.
