We aim to create an inclusive environment where students can freely practice their beliefs, fostering a supportive community that embraces religious diversity, while at the same time celebrating our Catholic identity.

Adoration

Eucharistic Adoration is a great way to spend time with God in the peace and silence of the Abbey Church. Holy Hour occurs every Wednesday at 7:45 p.m., when classes are in session. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to spend some quiet time with God. Come and go as you like.
