- Students are encouraged to select a provider that best fits their needs.
Spiritual Resources
Prayer Requests
As a Catholic institution, we recognize and believe in the healing power. In times of difficulty—whether physical illness, emotional distress, or personal hardship—we invite our community to unite in prayerful support.
The Apostles for Christ student group receives and responds to all prayer requests submitted by students, faculty, and staff. Requests are treated with reverence and discretion. You may submit a request for yourself, a loved one, or any intention close to your heart.
You may submit your prayer request in the Prayer Requests discussion board in the Apostles for Christ group.
All prayer intentions will be remembered during the Apostles for Christ’s meetings.
Mass & Confessions
Students are encouraged to find spiritual renewal through the sacraments of the Church. For those seeking to attend Mass or receive Confession, the Our Lady Queen of the Apostles Chapel offers regular opportunities on campus. The full schedule for daily Masses, as well as Confession times, can be found on the Chapel’s page.
