Each semester, our chaplain leads classes to introduce Columbia students to the beliefs, practices, and traditions of the Catholic faith. They’re open to non-Catholics who are interested in Catholicism, baptized Catholics who have not yet received the sacraments of Confession, Holy Communion or Confirmation, as well as all Catholics who want to know their faith better.

For Fall 2025, classes will run weekly on Sundays from 2:00 - 4:00 PM at the Merton Institute, starting September 21.

No questions are off-limits, so come curious!

Please reach out to Fr. John at catholicpriest@columbia.edu for more information or to sign up, or fill out this survey.
