[PAST EVENT] Catholic Campus Ministry's Centennial Anniversary Celebration
Access & Features
- Ticketed event
In 1923, a small handful of William & Mary students, along with Professor Carlos CastaƱeda founded the Gibbons Club - the first official Catholic organization at William & Mary. Within a decade of the Club's founding, a chapel had been constructed, and a permanent Catholic presence established. This chapel would become St. Bede Catholic Church, and later the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, where generations of Catholic students at William & Mary have encountered Christ over the past 100 years.
While the name of the ministry has changed a few times over the past century, and the approach to ministry has evolved to meet the needs of each generation, the mission of Catholic Campus Ministry has remained the same: to make God known on the campus of William & Mary.
To celebrate this important milestone in the life of our ministry at William & Mary, we have a special weekend of celebration planned for November 3 & 4, 2023. The celebration will begin on Friday, November 3rd with a special Jubilee Mass celebrated by Bishop Barry Knestout, followed immediately by our Centennial Gala and Auction. The next morning will feature the Tribe Catholic Invitational, our benefit golf outing to support the ministry. Mark your calendar to join us!
