The Office of Campus Ministry invites students, faculty, staff and alumnae/i of CNR to participate in a community of faith held together by prayer, sacrament, scripture, celebration and contemplation. Rooted in our Catholic liturgical celebrations and the founding spirit of the Ursuline Sisters, we branch out to embrace the rich diversity of our multifaith College community by inviting all to worship and prayer.

Alumnae/i Marriages
Catholic alumnae/i marriages may be arranged with the Chaplain, Fr. Joseph Flynn, OFM, Cap., at 914/654-5052.

Ecumenical and Interfaith Services

Recognizing the gifts inherent in an ethnically and racially diverse student body and that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is lived out in concrete cultures, Campus Ministry draws from the rich cultural and religious expressions evident in the faith lives of all of our students. Our culturally diverse and multifaith community joins together for worship throughout the year. One of our most popular ecumenical services is the Labyrinth Prayer Walk, a contemporary Christ-centered prayer activity, incorporating music, meditation, art, and prayer activities at stations along the path. In April 2007, a candle light vigil service was held in response to the shooting at Virginia Tech.

Liturgy

The principal Sunday Liturgy is celebrated at 11:00 AM in Holy Family Chapel on the main campus. A Eucharistic Liturgy is celebrated Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 8:45 AM and on Wednesday at 5:10 PM, when classes are in session. Along with the weekly celebration of the Eucharist the community also gathers to celebrate special events during the Liturgical Year: Christmas and Epiphany, Ash Wednesday and the Paschal Triduum, Ascension Thursday, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, All Saints Day, and the Immaculate Conception.
