Campus Ministry supports the Boston College community’s engagement in the Catholic faith by providing multiple opportunities for prayer and reflection, as well as, catechetical instruction that ideally serves as a pathway to greater participation in the Sacraments and the rich liturgical life of the Church.

Are you a Catholic who wants to be confirmed?

If you desire to be confirmed before you graduate, Campus Ministry has a program tailored for you at college. It consists of a series of conversations throughout the spring semester about our Catholic faith. Conversations will focus on central teachings of the Church, its rich tradition, as well as key practices, rituals, and heroes. 

Reconcililation (Confession)

Reconciliation is so important in our lives—reconciliation with significant people, reconciliation with ourselves, and reconciliation with God.

If you would like the Sacrament of Reconciliation on an individual basis, please call (617) 552-3475 or e-mail ministry@bc.edu for an appointment. You can also stop by Campus Ministry (McElroy 233) during office hours to schedule a time.

Additionally, Reconciliation is available before or after any of our daily or Sunday liturgies, just ask the presider.


Marriage preparation & weddings

Marriage Preparation Program

Campus Ministry looks forward to welcoming 15 engaged couples - who are members of the Boston College and St. Ignatius parish communities - to it's fall Marriage Preparation Program. The program consists of a series of presentations by married couples. Each presentation will be about realities typical to most marriages, such as: Family, Communication, Finances, Spirituality, Sexuality, Adjustments and others. Presentations are followed by an exercise designed to help engaged couples to reflect on these topics. Engaged couples often ask questions following the presentations, but all other conversations will just be between you and the person you came with. Because we believe prayer enlarges the heart, the program opens and closes with prayer. Breakfast and lunch foods and beverages are provided. The program is limited to 15 couples; so, please register as soon as possible. Registration is confirmed only after the registration form is completed in its entirety and the registration fee has been received. 

Fall Date: Saturday, November 22nd, 2025
Location: 825 Centre St. Newton, MA 02458
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
