Wednesday Holy Eucharist
10:30 a.m. Wednesdays, Chapel in Mathes Hall

Something special happens in the Chapel in Mathes Hall on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. This very relaxed Holy Eucharist includes a teaching on the Saint of the Week by Father Bill. In many ways, this teaching is an open dialog that allows everyone present to share fully the intent of the following Collect of the Holy Eucharist:

God our Father, whose Son our Lord Jesus Christ in a wonderful Sacrament has left us a memorial of his passion: Grant us so to venerate the sacred mysteries of his Body and Blood, that we may ever perceive within ourselves the fruit of his redemption; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
