On Sundays, the Le Moyne community gathers to listen to the Word of God and share in the Eucharistic banquet.  Following the 7:00 pm liturgy, Campus Ministry invites everyone to the Drescher Community Room for food and fellowship.

Worship Schedule:

Sundays

10:00 am in the Shanahan Chapel
7:00 pm in the Madonna della Strada Chapel

Weekdays

Monday - Friday at 12:10 pm in the Shanahan Chapel
Tuesday - Friday at 5:15 pm in the Jesuit Residence

Students, faculty and staff play an active role in all liturgical celebrations held on campus.  Campus Ministry encourages everyone to share their gifts with the worshiping community by serving as a Eucharistic minister, lector, cantor, or music minister and by helping with seasonal liturgy planning.  Training is available for all ministries.  The chapel choir rehearses weekly.

The R.C.I.A. (Sacramental Preparation) Program offers spiritual enrichment for those who wish to share more deeply in the faith community through the celebration of baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist, and for those interested in learning more about the Catholic faith.  Those who participate in the program will meet throughout the year for faith-sharing conversations, religious instruction and prayer.  The celebration of baptism, confirmation and Eucharist will take place during the Easter season.

Reflection is the way we discover and compose the meaning of our experience.  Campus Ministry;s Retreat Program offers opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to take time away from their busy lives to reflect and pray about their relationships with themselves, with others, and with God.  Retreat offerings include:

• Lobos y Olla welcomes freshmen and transfer students to the Le Moyne community.  Upperclassmen lead the retreat, helping retreatants navigate the transition to college and introducing the history of St. Ignatius and the first Jesuits.  The central themes of Lobos y Olla are hospitality and generosity.
• InterMission helps students decide who they're called to be in the world.  Three key questions anchor the weekend: What brings me  joy? What am I good at? Who does the world need me to be? Faculty and staff lead this vocational discernment weekend, building mentoring relationships with students.
• Finding God explores the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola and introduces retreatants to the Spiritual Exercises.  It takes its name from the Ignatian vision of "finding God in all things."  Through storytelling, this retreat teaches retreatants how to be attentive, reflective and loving.
• Psalm 46 ("Be still and know that I am God") offers faculty and staff quiet space and time to reflect at the midpoint of the academic year.  Meditative prayer, stillness and spiritual direction mark the weekend.

How do we live out our faith as young adults in 21st century America? What is your experience of faith, spirituality, and religion? Faith Sharing Communities bring friends, roommates and classmates together for conversation, reflection, and prayer.  All are welcome, no matter where along the journey they might be.  Rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, Faith Sharing Communities integrate life experience with belief and spirituality.  When you bring your life to faith, you'll find you end up bringing your faith to life!

Amnesty International, Habitat for Humanity and the Ignatian Family Teach-In are just a few of the social justice programs sponsored by Campus Ministry that embody the hallmarks of a Le Moyne College education.  Student participants deepen their relationship with God through consciousness-raising activities that challenge them to integrate faith and justice.

The Alternative Breaks Program provides national and international service and learning opportunities for the students, faculty and staff of Le Moyne College.  The goal of the program is for student participants to deepen their relationships with God by:

• sharing in the lives of those living in poverty through short-term service projects and living experiences
• reflecting on issues of faith and justice
• being exposed to the diversity of God's creations through an encounter with those living in a culture different from their own
• offering their skills, resources, and gifts for the purpose of creating a more just world
• envisioning spiritual life articulated in the gospel message and the Church's call for a "preferential option for the poor"
