Reflect and Remember

In remembrance of the September 11 attacks, Campus Ministry will host a 9/11 Memorial Mass on September 8 at 8 p.m. in the University Chapel. This solemn event will be followed by a candlelit procession to the September 11 Memorial located in The Harbor at Boland Hall, where a brief prayer service will be held, and the names of the Seton Hall community members lost that day will be read.

For a more personal and quiet time of reflection, Moonlight Mercy returns every Wednesday night from 9-10 p.m. at Immaculate Conception Chapel. This hour of music, prayer, confessions, adoration and quiet time is open to all who need a moment to unwind.
