Faith

"Let us ask the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us a fervent longing to be saints for God’s greater glory, and let us encourage one another in this effort."
- Pope Francis
- Sacraments
  
  Outward Signs of God's Grace
  
  The sacraments are outward signs of God's grace to help us grow in holiness and aid us in living as disciples of Jesus Christ. As Catholics we believe in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist. It is the source and summit of our faith where we gather each week to unite ourselves with the sacrificial love of Christ.
  
  Mass:
  Mass is celebrated on campus during the school year on Sundays at 4:00 pm in the Sweeney Chapel on South Campus and Wednesdays in Jordan Hall 236.
  
  Reconciliation:
  Our chaplain is available to hear confessions by appointment. We also offer other confession times periodically throughout the school year, including during Advent and Lent.
  
  Eucharistic Adoration:
  Adoration is held on campus various times throughout the semester. At St. Thomas Aquinas, just a few blocks from campus, there is Adoration every Tuesday from 5:00 - 6:00 pm.
  
  Becoming Catholic:
  If you have questions about becoming Catholic, wish to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, or enter the Catholic Church through The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (or RCIA), please contact Anna Stankewitz.
- Women's & Men's Groups
  
  get to know other students in the BCC
  
  Community is at the heart of Christian life. Jesus did not call us to walk this journey alone! Small groups are a way to get to know other students in the BCC better while growing deeper in your faith.
  
  Men's and Women's Groups:
  These weekly groups provide an opportunity for sharing, discussion, and support. The groups are led by our student peer ministers and are always open to new people!
