Community

Sunday Suppers

Join us on Sundays at 6:15 PM (after our student Mass ends) for an excellent home-cooked meal and even better company! These Sunday suppers are held at the Thomas Merton Institute for Catholic Life, the building connected to the Church of Notre Dame to its west.

Wednesday catholic nights

Join us on Wednesdays from 6:30 - 8:30 PM for a home-cooked family dinner, a talk from our chaplain, and time in prayer. These are also held at the Thomas Merton Institute for Catholic Life, the building connected to the Church of Notre Dame to its west.


Worship

Mass, Adoration, & Confession

We adore before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament every weekday (M-F) from 11 AM - 12 PM.

Our chaplain hears confessions during adoration, every weekday (M-F) from 11:10 AM - 12 PM.

We celebrate our Sunday student Mass at 5 PM. Our daily Masses (M-Sat) are at 12:10 PM.

Semesterly retreat

Columbia Catholic Ministry hosts one retreat a semester. Join our weekly Newsletter to stay informed on when and where we will host our next retreat.


Service

Once a month, we partner with JoyJ (Joy of Jesus) Homeless Ministry to serve people experiencing homelessness in our neighborhood. Specifically, we package "homeless care packages" at the Church of Notre Dame. These packages contain food, water, a prayer card, and pamphlets to help them connect with local resources. Then we go out in groups to befriend homeless people and give them our bags. At each event, we offer training on how to lovingly and safely encounter homeless people in groups.


Formation

Bible Studies

FOCUS Missionaries and Columbia Catholic Ministry students host weekly Bible studies! (Bibles are provided.) These are a great opportunity to encounter God in the Scriptures and to grow in friendship with other students. Reach out to catholics@columbia.edu to find a Bible study that fits your schedule today!
