OLHCC Hosts one of Our Sister Colleges, Stonehill College in Massachusetts, during their Spring Break Service Experience in the Ninth Ward


On Tuesday, March 9th, we hosted 40 Stonehill students for supper in the Zydeco Lounge. Our President, Fr. Anthony DeConciliis, Sr. Marjorie Hebert, Mary Pat Barth, Julie Nice, Larry Audler all shared their reflections about Hurricane Katrina. They also thanked the Stonehill students for spending their spring break in service to the ninth ward. This was an evening of inspiration for all who attended.

Welcome to Campus Ministry
at
Our Lady of Holy Cross College!

Mary Pat Barth

I'd like to welcome students, faculty and staff to the Office of Campus Ministry. Our Mission reflects the Catholic and social justice tradition of the College, respecting the diverse faith traditions of everyone. It is our goal to engage students to be servant leaders and to develop in them the College's core values of compassion, truth, goodness, presence, and service to others. We do this in collaboration with student leaders, staff, faculty and administrators.

Our Office provides daily Mass in the Mater Dei Chapel as well as a non-denominational "quiet room" for anyone to use. Weekly prayer, the Busy Student's Retreat, a Lenten evening of reflection, service projects, the Annual Walk for the Hungry, spiritual direction and special Liturgical events are offered. Check out this site for specific details.

Our Office is located on the First Floor, in the Student Life area, near Classroom 15.

Fr. Anthony DeConciliis, C.S.C., Ph.D., President of Our Lady of Holy Cross College, often celebrates our daily Liturgy in the Mater Dei Chapel.

 

Our Lady of Sorrows

 

This beautiful statue of Our Lady of Sorrows inspires all who pray before her in the Mater Dei Chapel.

 

Non-denominational Quiet Room

Quiet Room

This room is a "quiet room" for anyone to come to and be still. It is used by many students. It is accessed from inside the Mater Dei Chapel, but is separate from it. The quiet room overlooks nature and offers an oasis from everything. All are welcome to give their minds and hearts a chance to rest. Take a moment to check it out!
