New Students
The Merton Institute is always eager to welcome new students. At Columbia, at the beginning of every new year, the Merton Institute and Columbia Catholic Ministry (CCM) host various NSOP (“New Student Orientation Program”) activities to which all new students are invited. For Catholics, it is an excellent opportunity to recognize that they have a spiritual home here on campus where God, the Church and their fellow Catholics seek to meet them, accompany them, and help them grow.

Pray with Us
Join us each Sunday for mass and dinner to follow! Other mass, adoration, and confession times can be found here.


Study, Learn, and Hangout
The Merton Institute is home to many opportunities for students to focus on their studies, grow in their Catholic faith, and connect with fellow students. Check out our events page for upcoming classes and make sure to join us for our two free weekly dinners (Sunday after mass and Wednesday at 6:30 PM).
