Liturgy at Boston College is an experience of true community. Our Masses are opportunities to come together as one and recognize the God that is with us and within us. The liturgies are enhanced by the talents and gifts of many people—including the students who welcome us, who lead us in song, and who join us in prayer.
We invite all students to participate and hope you will find a home here with us.Ìý°ä´Ç²Ô³Ù²¹³¦³ÙÌýÌýfor more information about how to get involved.

Weekly student liturgies at Boston College are celebrated in chapels and worship spaces in each of the three residential areas of campus: Trinity Chapel on Newton Campus, St. Joe’s Chapel on upper campus, and St. Ignatius Church and the Heights Room on the lower campus. Our student liturgies are enhanced by the talents and gifts of many people, and we encourage you to share your gifts with our worshipping communities in any of the following ways:
Distribute the Body and Blood of Christ to the faithful, participating in the ministry of the table of God. Eucharistic Ministers must be fully initiated Catholics.
Proclaim the true and saving word of God through the scriptures, and lead the assembly in the prayers of intercession. Lectors must be members of the Christian faith.
Assist with the preparation of the liturgy. These students also have to opportunity to occasionally serve at baptisms, weddings, etc.
Schedule the Eucharistic Ministers and Lectors for each liturgy, as well as assigning the Eucharistic Ministers to their stations for the liturgy and finding substitutes as needed.
Help to create a welcoming environment at Mass. Greeters extend a welcome and sense of hospitality by greeting students as they arrive, distributing mass programs, coordinating the collection, and setting up post-Mass socials.
