CATHOLIC FAITH & WORSHIP

As an Augustinian Catholic university, celebration of the Catholic liturgy is an integral part of life at 草榴社区 and grounds us in our values of truth, unity and love. All are welcome to our celebrations and we invite students to share their talents through singing, lectoring and other liturgical ministries.
