Liturgical Life and Ministry

As Church, the Body of Christ, we believe that full, conscious, and active participation in the faith life of the community is essential to good worship. Liturgy at Merrimack College, especially the Eucharist, encourages such participation and is a central activity that deepens one's commitment to self, God, and others. 

LITURGY DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR

  • SUNDAY Liturgy - 5:00 PM
    • OUR MOTHER OF GOOD COUNSEL CHAPEL, 2nd floor, Austin Hall
  • WEEKDAY Liturgy - 12:10 PM
    • TAYLOR CHAPEL of St. Augustine, 3rd Floor of the Sakowich Campus Center

SERVICES FOR OTHER FAITH TRADITIONS

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILATION

  • Scheduled seasonally and available any time by making an appointment with an Augustinian Friar on Campus.
  • Spritual direction is available for those who would like to explore more deeply with their faith journey or who simply want to talk one-on-one with a Campus Minister.

LITURGICAL MINISTRY

Opportunities are available for students who are interested in serving the College community at Mass as greeters, lectors, Eucharistic ministers, music ministers, acolytes (servers, and sacristans (those who prepare the worship space). We invite and welcome all students who are interested to serve as liturgical ministers.
