Faith on Campus
One Simple Interaction...
Andrea Molinar
Christianity is thriving at Sacramento State University, its influence far reaching despite it being a public institution. The bells of the Catholic Church nearby can be heard throughout campus and there are multiple Christian sororities/fraternities and clubs. They offer students a chance to make friends with similar values while growing in their faith as they get to know God and the Bible better. The Newman Center is one of these and gives students a place to go to Mass on Sundays as well as holy days of obligation and other special days like Ash Wednesday. Those, however, are held on campus. The first Ash Wednesday that I attended on campus was more of a coincidence than anything else. One of my classes had been canceled and so when my roommate asked if I wanted to go to Mass with her instead, I agreed. We walked from our apartment to the Sac State Union where many students had gathered to attend the short Mass.
