To all Denisonians: together with Denison's Open House: Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, we at St. Edward's welcome you to Granville, to Licking County, and to the Diocese of Columbus. We are glad that you are here, and we look forward to serving you!
Our primary activities on campus are:- Food and Faith: On Mondays from 7:30-8:15 p.m., we meet for dinner, a discussion of faith, and a short scripturally-based prayer. All students are welcome, regardless of their faith background, and it's up to you whether you want to speak during the discussion or just sit back and listen. Past topics have ranged from the gifts of the Holy Spirit to ways of praying to specific feasts and seasons (e.g. Advent, Lent, All Souls Day) to the challenges of being a Catholic on campus. No matter the subject, it is geared specifically for college students.
- Other activities: We have hosted other events that vary from year to year: the distribution of ashes at Swasey Chapel on Ash Wednesday, a Halloween Party with pumpkin carving contests, guest speakers, Campus Stations of the Cross, and a variety of service projects.
Students participate at St. Edward's in many ways:
- Mass: 5:00 p.m. Saturday Vigil
9:00 a.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday- Reconciliation: 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays, seasonal penance services during Advent and Lent
- Adoration: 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Mondays
- serving as cantors, instrumentalists, choir members, or other liturgical ministers
- assisting with our high school youth group as small group and retreat leaders
- volunteering as grade-school catechists on Sunday mornings or Wednesday nights
- participating in our Lenten soup suppers and fish fries
We also offer a variety of off-campus activities. In previous years, these have included one-day and two-day retreats, pilgrimages to Catholic sites in the Diocese of Columbus and beyond, the diocesan Chrism Mass at the cathedral, concerts, movies, and more.
We are also happy to meet with students for individual spiritual guidance.
