All Souls Day Mass of Remembrance – Wednesday November 2, 5:30 PM
On November 2, Feast of All Souls, we will have a Mass of Remembrance for loved ones that our community has lost. If you have a family member, or friend whom you would like to be included in this special Mass, during the month of October there is a book outside of the CSC chapel where you can enter that loved one's name. You can also enter the information online here. During the Mass on November 2, all the names entered will be read aloud, as tea lights are lit in remembrance of their life. Families of those loved ones are invited to attend the Mass and be a part of the process, but it is not required. Free Wednesday night dinner will follow this Mass.
New Roman Missal & Biblical Walkthrough of the Mass – begins next Friday October 28th
Explore the Mysteries; Discover the Meaning, and Experience the riches of the Mass, based on the new translation of the Roman Missal on Friday afternoons in the conference room starting Friday October 28th and continuing for 5 weeks - for more information please contact Jonathan Sanchez-Hidalgo jsanche...@focusonline.org
"What is Interfaith all About?"
The CSC's Interfaith Committee strives to develop and maintain relationships with the representatives from other religious groups around campus, both Christians and non-Christians alike. Our goal through these relationships is to help other faiths accurately understand the teachings of Catholicism, help us to understand their faiths and highlight the similarities and differences between us. The Church teaches that while we always must proclaim Jesus Christ as the way, the truth, and the life, there is also great value to be appreciated in the teachings of other religions.
If you're interested in learning more about this committee and helping to plan its activities please contact David at inter...@catholicterps.org.
The CSC would like to offer YOGA classes with Catholic prayer/meditation. Please take a moment to fill out the form online here by the end of this week so we can see what the most convenient times are for you all :) IIona, a university of Maryland alumni and yoga instructor, would like to offer two classes - a beginner and intermediate class.
