“…if each one would light a candle we’d have a tremendous light” ― Sister Thea Bowman

Community Prayer

Throughout the academic year, we gather as a community for prayer. The plurality of our belief and experience is celebrated and integrated into these experiences. These experiences are grounded in our community and our mission.

Sacred Spaces

While these spaces are open to all members of our community, those who are not residential students must contact Campus Security (410-435-0100) to gain access to those located within residential halls.

  • Doyle Hall Chapel (Doyle Hall, second floor)
  • Grotto of the Sacred Heart (in the grove in front of Caroline Hall)
  • Interfaith Prayer Room (Meletia Hall, first floor)
  • Marikle Chapel of the Annunciation (Theresa Hall, second floor)
  • Muslim Prayer Room (Doyle Hall, second floor)

Catholic Liturgies

Held in the Catholic tradition, students and staff from all religious and non-religious backgrounds are welcome to join us to celebrate Mass in Marikle Chapel of the Annunciation, located on the 2nd floor of Theresa Hall.

We encourage you to take an active part in our celebrations. If you are interested in becoming a lector or Eucharistic Minister or to lend your musical talents, please contact Mission & Ministry at campusministry@ndm.edu.

Mass Schedule

  • Weekday Masses: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 12:10 p.m.
  • Sunday Mass: 6:00 p.m.

RCIA & Confirmation

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is the process by which adults are welcomed into the Catholic Church through the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion. For those already baptized into the Christian faith, Confirmation deepens one’s baptismal call as they are anointed by the Holy Spirit. All involved are supported by our community throughout their discernment and preparation.

If you are interested in learning more about RCIA or Confirmation, email our office at campusministry@ndm.edu.

Weddings

Marikle Chapel of the Annunciation is available to the public for Catholic weddings. Requests for dates and availability should be directed to the Conference Services wedding coordinator at 410-532-5782 or events@ndm.edu.

“Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke

Interreligious Retreats

Busy Person’s Retreat: Open to all students, staff, and faculty, the Busy Person's Retreat is offered each academic year and based on your schedule and your availability. Take the time out of your busy schedule to reflect on life, God and the world around you. You will meet one on one with a spiritual director for a half hour every day during the week.

Individual Spiritual Accompaniment: Spiritual accompaniment is an opportunity to reflect on your relationship with yourself, with God, and with others. You can meet one-on-one with a staff member for:

  • A space for you to explore who you are and who you are becoming. You don’t need all the answers!
  • A time to focus on your own lived experience. Where you are finding, or struggling to find, God in your life?
  • A place that is yours alone. Meeting with someone one-on-one can give you just enough space to reflect on your relationships.
