A rich sacramental and prayer life must be core to the student's daily life at JP Catholic, with the Eucharist being at the very core. Other time-honored traditional liturgical celebrations contribute to Catholic life on campus, such as Eucharistic Adoration, the Rosary and the Divine Mercy chaplet.

On-campus Mass
Monday, Wednesday & Thursday:
1pm at JP Catholic

Daily Mass is also available at 8:30 am and 5:30 pm at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, Mira Mesa. 8 weekend Masses are available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese.

Confessions are available on-campus every Wednesday and Thursday, and on Saturday afternoon at Good Shepherd parish.

Daily Prayer and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament as well as private devotions are available in the campus chapel and at the parish church. Rosary is said every night at the residence apartments. Spiritual direction is offered by the Chaplain. Though all religious activity is voluntary, the level of participation by the students is a true measure of the spiritual mission of JP Catholic. As students grow in faith, their enthusiasm for the word of God and the Eucharist will grow too. Non-Catholic students are most welcomed to discover the truth of Jesus Christ.

Chaplain: Fr Richard Huston is a priest from the Diocese of San Diego, and serves JP Catholic University at the request of Bishop Robert Brom. He is a senior priest at Good Shepherd Parish - JP Catholic's parish.
