I’m not sure about Catholic clubs, but there is a chaplaincy and I think there is daytime Mass once a week.
I was thinking I might be able to make some daily Masses and morning prayer (although I am a little worried I might be so sleep-starved that I sleep in). Good points about growing in virtues out of necessity. I’m no stranger to all-nighters! As to your bad experience with the women’s study class, I think I will be safe from that.I scheduled my classes around the daily Mass schedule at my parish, and used my spare time to make holy hours. Also, being poor helped me grow in the virtue of detachment, as well as school work and studying helped with self discipline. And let’s not forget sleep deprivation from pulling all-nighters and then having to go to class in the morning.
If you have to do any psychology, sociology, women’s and gender studies, or English Literature classes you may run into the issue of content issues. I had to take a women’s study class that was an absolute load of garbage. I met with the department chair and program head and made a formal complaint about the content. They revamped the class and no longer make it mandatory. That being said, my women’s studies instructor was a catholic who absolutely hated St Thomas Aquinas, so I made it a point to read his writings while waiting for her to start class.
Yes, I think structure is important. I was hoping there would be Bible study this Fall, but I haven’t heard anything yet. Then again, people are probably on vacation.
Thanks, I will look into the Newman Center. Another thought I had was to start a Liturgy of the Hours at school, or at least a partial LOTH …but am wondering if that would be biting off more than I could chew with all the other commitments I will have.
the Newman Center is a great place to connect with if there is one at your university.
