Liturgy at Boston College

Liturgy at Boston College is an experience of true community. Our Masses are opportunities to come together as one and recognize the God that is with us and within us. The liturgies are enhanced by the talents and gifts of many people—including the students who welcome us, who lead us in song, and who join us in prayer.

The Liturgy Arts Group (LAG) serves the Boston College community by sharing its gift of music at Sunday liturgies and special events on campus. With song and instruments, LAG is committed to enlivening and enriching the University’s worship experience.  

LAG welcomes all students with a love for creating music. If you are a singer, instrumentalist, handbell ringer, or visual artist, we invite you to share your special gift with the community.

The Liturgy Arts Group meets weekly for prayer and to practice its music for the upcoming Sunday liturgy and for special celebrations. Contact Blake Bruchhaus with questions.

Liturgical Ministries

Weekly student liturgies at Boston College are celebrated in chapels and worship spaces in each of the three residential areas of campus: Trinity Chapel on Newton Campus, St. Joe’s Chapel on upper campus, and St. Ignatius Church and the Heights Room on the lower campus.

Weekly student liturgies at Boston College are celebrated on all residential areas of campus: Trinity Chapel on Newton Campus, St. Joseph Chapel on Upper campus, St. Ignatius Church on Lower campus and the Chapel at Ashby Center on the Brookline Campus.

Our student liturgies are enhanced by the talents and gifts of many people, and we encourage you to share your gifts with our worshipping communities in any of the following ways listed below.

  • Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion: Are faithful members of the Catholic Church who assist in the distribution of Holy Communion. Serving in this role, you are offering the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity to every person who receives Communion.
  • Lector: Are any faithful Christian who has responded to God’s call to proclaim the Word to their community.  Lectors facilitate an encounter with the love and faithfulness of our Lord through Sacred Scripture.
  • Sacristan: Is any faithful Christian who has responded to God's call to assist their community by caring for the sacristy as well as the vessels, preparing the chapel for Mass, and serving/assisting the presider during Mass.
  • Greeters / Ministers of Hospitality: Help to create a welcoming environment at Mass. They extend a welcome as students arrive, distribute worship aids, coordinate the collection and set up post Mass Socials.
