Prayer and Worship
State of the Heart Groups for Faculty and Staff
As we are gearing up for another semester at CHC, we welcome you to consider participating in a State of the Heart group. This practice of sharing faith and reflecting on our lives in community is foundational to the spiritual and communal life of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, and it is a gift for us to gather and facilitate these spaces with you, our colleagues. The groups meet weekly for 30 minutes with an intentional group of 4-6 colleagues who desire to share authentically and listen deeply to the deeper questions of the heart: How am I doing? Where is Love showing up? How is God at work in my life?
Prayer for Peace and Non-violence
Recognizing our place in the global community, Chestnut Hill College joins with this community in praying for peace and non-violence each year. The prayer is a pilgrimage around campus- beginning in the Rotunda, proceeding to the Peace Pole, and visiting the Garden of Forgiveness. Members of the campus community join their voices in prayer at each location, sharing in the cry for unity and peace in our world, country, city, campus, and our own hearts. Graduate and undergraduate students are invited to share personal reflections on the theme of Peace and Nonviolence.
Catholic Liturgy
As a community of faith, Chestnut Hill College honors the faith traditions of all its members and strives to provide opportunities to worship and celebrate together on a regular basis.
Rooted in the Roman Catholic faith, the Chestnut Hill College Campus Community celebrates Mass on Tuesdays and Thursday in the Carlino Chapel, and joins our larger Catholic community at Our Mother of Consolation Parish for Sunday liturgies.
