The Catholic Community at Johns Hopkins University

Spiritual Life

Our Mass, Confession, and Adoration times are listed here.

We also host other opportunities for students to deepen their relationships with God.

Newman Night

Newman Night is our weekly talk and discussion series that focuses on living out the faith at Hopkins. We host a variety of guest speakers to grow in different aspects.

Discussion begins at 8:00 PM Wednesday after the 6:30 PM Mass and 7:00 PM Holy Hour.  Dessert/snacks then follow for studying or socializing. Come to as much or as little of the night as you need!

Bible Study + Small Groups

These smaller groups foster friendship, deepen your prayer life, and help you to learn more about your faith. Please reach out for more information.

Priest Hours

If you have any questions about your faith journey, need guidance or advice, or simply want a listening ear for all your Hopkins shenanigans, priest hours are on-campus opportunities to speak with, have Confession, or pay a visit to our chaplains! Stop by to say “Hi!” to Fr. Josemaría and Fr. Dominic; they are here for you.

Retreats

Going on retreat offers you the chance to get away from campus for a day or two filled with reflection, rest, and community. Retreats include Mass, discussion, and prayer. At least three retreats are offered each year and vary in location from Washington D.C., Emmitsburg, Ellicott City, to our very own city of Baltimore.

Details & sign-ups will be provided ahead of time through weekly emails.
