In addition to our weekly Sunday masses at the incredibly convenient time of 4:30 PM, the Newman Room, located in the basement of Thompson Chapel, is open to students 24 hrs. Just swipe your card (after 10pm) to enter or walk in via the door facing Stetson. Great place to study, hang out, grab a late night snack, cook, relax, go to Pizza and Prayer (rosary and food!), gather for our monthly dinner, or take a quiet moment to pray in the smaller chapel, (though not necessarily in that order). We hold most of our weekly events there (Midweek Mass on Tues. and Thurs. 5:00, Pizza & Prayer Wed. 7:00, Eucharistic Adoration Fri. 12:15-1:15, Newman Reads Sat. 4:00). On most weekends, the Newman Room will host a social event (board game and movie nights are especially popular).
The group also sponsors trips, service projects, and speakers throughout the year.
Fr. Caster, the college's Catholic chaplain, celebrates student masses and is available as a resource for all students.== Who Are We? ==
 Williams Catholic works with the Chaplain’s office to provide Williams students with Catholic campus ministry, including the celebration of the sacraments and other devotional activities as well as providing a space for intellectual discussion about the Catholic faith. In addition, we organize social events roughly once a week to promote fellowship.  == Where Are We? ==  Most of our scheduled events take place in the Newman Room, located in the basement of Thompson Chapel. Also located in the basement of Thompson Chapel is the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, where we host Mass on Sunday evenings and where other devotional activities (Rosary, Eucharistic Adoration, etc.) take place. Just walk in through the door facing the southern entrance of Sawyer Library! Also located in the basement of Thompson Chapel is the Interfaith Common Room, which makes the basement a nice place to study, hang-out, cook, or relax!   == What Do We Do? ==  The purpose of Williams Catholic is to provide both necessary and enriching resources for Roman Catholic students. We organize weekly celebrations of the Mass and frequent opportunities for communal prayer as well as providing a space for people of all backgrounds to discuss and explore the Catholic faith! We aim to bring the Catholic student community closer together through open social events, as well as organized spiritual retreats, religious pilgrimages, and community service ventures!
