‘All Things’ is the name of our weekly dinner & discussion Fellowship. Our name comes from Colossians 1:17. “He is before all things and in Him all things cohere.” We believe God holds all of his creation together and is intimately involved in reconciling every aspect of it back to himself. All Things meets every Thursday Night 5:30-6:45 in MUSC (Student Centre) RM 318.

Fully Alive is our “All Things” Men’s Group which meets weekly to discuss various topics which we encounter in our everyday lives. We wrestle with the question: what does it mean to be a man fully alive in Jesus Christ? This question raises a plethora of related questions on work, relationships, gender, faith … and so much more. Fully Alive meets every Wednesday in MUSC 230 at 3:30PM. For details and the room number, please email nathandhood00@gmail.com

Join us in MUSC RM 230 every Wednesday for some free warm soup and delicious focaccia bread! Stop by just for lunch or hang around to meet the chaplains and talk with other students! All the soup is certified kosher, halal, and vegan.

For the early risers in our community, Morning Prayer is a wonderful way to start the morning. Prayer begins at 8 am every Wednesday morning and draws from the rich tradition of the Liturgy of the Hours: Oh, and post-prayer breakfast is included :)

Join us every Tuesday at 6:00 pm for our student dinners, open to undergrads, grads, and alumni. All are welcome to join us for a delicious meal and great company, ending with Night Prayer together. Bring a friend, be yourself, and experience a welcoming community. We're looking forward to meeting you! Dinners might even feature exciting guest speakers. Don't miss out!

You’re also invited to join the community for 5:15 Mass in the church before dinner, which the Chaplaincy choir provides music ministry for once a month. An experience not to be missed!

Lectures, labs, clubs… lots of things can get in the way of the daily noontime Mass at Canadian Martyrs. This year, Tuesday Mass has been moved to 5:15 pm, right before our weekly dinners. If you are free, it’s a beautiful opportunity to receive the Lord through the Eucharist to sustain you during the week.

“Revive Again” is a Women’s Group that meets weekly to discuss the topics and issues that are important to us. We focus on developing supportive relationships and fostering a welcoming and fun community where we can learn and grow in our faith together. We meet every Tuesday at 1:30PM in MUSC RM 230. If you have any questions, or would like to join, please email papergirlsfb@gmail.com

Canadian Martyrs Catholic Church is excited to host Student Dinners every Thursday from 6-8pm. This is an amazing way for you to sit down and get to know the members of the Catholic chaplaincy better!

THINKY TALK THURSDAY IS BACK! Thinky Talk Thursdays are a space to talk about theology, philosophy, and anything in between! Don’t let the prospect of theology or philosophy intimidate you—everyone is welcome to the conversation! It will be a time of fellowship, fun, and learning.

This new event will be held in the Student Centre on Thursdays (of course) starting at 1pm and lasting until 2pm. Even if you can’t make it for the full hour, we’d love for you to come and drop in!

Women's ministry will be an opportunity for young women to find sisterhood and to discuss both the Catholic faith and the challenges we might find in the world today. Young women (18-35 years old) that are students, alumni, Canadian Martyr's parish members, or who simply want to drop in are all welcome! Some interesting topics we hope to cover will be self-worth, relationships, developing a greater love for Jesus, vocation, and Our Blessed Mother!

We will be meeting in the Saint Kateri Student Centre at Canadian Martyrs, Wednesdays from 5:30 pm-6:30 pm.

All are welcome for Morning Prayer on Wednesdays at 8:00 am! Do not feel intimidated! All are welcome to join us, whether you are experienced or not! Start your day off in the best way possible by encountering the Lord (right before that 8:30 class!)

Men's ministry will be an opportunity for fellowship with other brothers in Christ, to grow in virtue, and to spend time in prayer with the Lord and with others. Young men (18-35 years old) that are students, alumni, Canadian Martyr's parish members, or who simply want to drop in are all welcome!

We will be meeting in the Saint Kateri Student Centre at Canadian Martyrs, Thursdays from 5:30 pm-6:30 pm.

Join us as Dr. Derek C. Schuurman shares his talk: The Story of Progress & a Path To Responsible Technology. This is part of the All Things Abraham Kuyper: “Loving Every Square Inch” Speaker Series!

"There is a great big, beautiful tomorrow" is the theme song for Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress celebrating technological advances over the past century. Will technology move us towards this "beautiful tomorrow?" This talk will explore a perspective on engineering informed by the Biblical story and how it can guide us toward more responsible technology. Despite being written during the bronze and iron age, the Biblical narrative remains relevant with implications for today's digital age.

Derek C. Schuurman completed a Ph.D. at McMaster University in the area of robotics and computer vision. He is currently a professor of computer science at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is a former adjunct associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at McMaster and is a fellow of the American Scientific Affiliation.

This week, our executive team and a few members of our Chaplaincy will have a table in the McMaster University Student Centre (MUSC), by Starbucks. This will be a great opportunity to showcase our events to the wider McMaster community. We would love if you could Drop By and Say Hi to support us on this mission!

When the holidays arrive, we can be of many different moods. Amid the busyness and festivity of the season, we create a place for those who need something else. Whether because of grief or isolation, estrangement or disconnection, being far from home or struggling with change, or just needing a simple pause amid the headlong rush of consumerism and excess... the Blue Holiday Service makes space for it all with music, candles and reflection.

Join our Ecumenical Chaplain in the Arts Quad every Thursday for a simple lunchtime walk in Cootes Paradise on Thursdays (starting this Thursday, October 27) and continuing throughout the rest of the fall. (RAIN DATE FRIDAYS)

The Chaplaincy Center is hosting an Advent Chapel! Come celebrate the beginning of this special season with a brief service in the MUSC rm 318!
