In the chaplaincy you will also have many opportunities for reflection, growth, prayer, and to learn more about your catholic faith. Our full-time chaplains are always available to listen, and to provide you with whatever guidance and help you need on your university journey. At the Honan Chapel we welcome you to daily and Sunday Mass, prayer services, or for some quiet time on your own.
