Once a month on Sunday evenings at either 6:30 PM or 7:00 PM as posted Westminster students and members of the campus community will gather for a non-denominational worship service in Wallace Memorial Chapel. These services include prayers, contemporary and traditional songs, music by individual students or ensembles, and a message by Rev. Jim Mohr, College Chaplain or invited guests. An opportunity for graduating seniors is provided during the worship service for them to share their faith journey and testimony. There are no services while Westminster College is not in session.
Saturday evenings at 7:00 PM Westminster students and members of the campus community will gather virtually with limited in-person attendance for Catholic Mass in Wallace Memorial Chapel. In addition we provide opportunities for worship on Holy Days of Obligation at 5:00 PM as announced. Students are often called upon to assist with Mass. There are no services while Westminster College is not in session. Fr. Ben Barr of Holy Spirit Parish of Lawrence County in New Castle, PA is the campus priest.
A new weekly Chapel Prayer Reflections will be available online each Wednesday. Each week Rev. Mohr, a Westminster student or staff member will share a short reflection and time of prayer via a video on our Faith at Westminster YouTube Channel. Prayer requests can be made by contacting Rev. Mohr at mohrjr@westminster.edu. To sign up to receive links for the reflections email the Office of Faith and Spirituality at chapel@westminster.edu.
