Mass

The Mount community gathers to worship God and welcome each other at Catholic Masses on Sundays and special occasions. Everyone, of every faith, is welcome.

University Mass happens on most Sundays during the Fall and Spring when classes are in session. A light reception for snacks and conversation follows the Mass. With prior request, our visiting priests are available for Confession.

Liturgical ministries

Mass at the Mount is planned and guided by our students. Get involved through leadership in art and environment, hospitality, or by becoming a Eucharistic minister, lector, music minister or sacristan.

Prayer experiences

Interdenominational individual and community prayer is offered throughout the year, in response to tragedy or special need, to build community, and nourish the spiritual life.
