New Lenten Mass! To help meet the liturgical needs of our students, Campus Ministry is adding a 7:30 p.m. Mass in St. Ignatius Church every Sunday through Easter. All other liturgies remain the same.

Adoration is offered every Thursday in St. Joseph's Chapel from 5-6 p.m. The first half hour is silent and the second is accompanied by praise & worship music, followed by Benediction. Confessions are available throughout.

Take 15 minutes for yourself each week at an in-person (and physically distant) Examen in the Manresa House (58 College Rd.) from 9:45 - 10 p.m. on Tuesdays
and Wednesdays. The Examen – one of our most popular programs – is a foundation of Ignatian spirituality. St. Ignatius thought, if we were to offer no other prayer, we should at least pray the Examen daily. All attendees must pre-register. Tap your day to sign up! Can't make it? Check out the livestream on Instagram.

4Boston’s Student Leader application is live! All current sophomores not going abroad and juniors are encouraged to apply. Apply at bc.edu/4boston by March 11 at 5 p.m. Due to the volume of applications received, late submissions will not be accepted.

ICYMI: Sights and Sounds – Black History Month Mass

"Anything we do to negate that [kind of] dignity in our sisters and brothers, that is spitting in the face of God," Fr. Oscar Pratt, pastor of Boston's St. Katharine Drexel Church, preaches at our annual Black History Month liturgy. The Mass, celebrated in St. Ignatius Church, was also livestreamed on Feb. 14.

Sunday's collection
This week's collection will go to St. Mary’s Center for Women and Children in Dorchester. St. Mary's offers programs and shelter for 600 women and children who have experienced trauma and are living in poverty. The Center works with families to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty and achieve emotional well-being and economic independence. In March, as part of Campus Ministry's APPA program, BC students will engage in three days of service at St. Mary's. Please be generous.
