Campus Holy Mass Schedule
Catholic Mass is celebrated at 12:20 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays in Saint Timothy Chapel, located on the first floor of Padre Rubio Hall. Mass is celebrated in Spanish at 1 p.m. on Wednesdays.
Loyola Retreat
The Loyola Retreat is a pilgrimage to the Basque Country. This trip provides an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the founder of the Society of Jesus, Ignatius of Loyola and Ignatian spirituality. It is more than just a trip to see the Basque Country or to learn about the Jesuits. It is a time to reflect on one's life, to grow spiritually, and to rest and recharge the body, mind and soul.
